I picked up an ATI Fire 2250 card off Ebay https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ATI-FireMV-2 ... 2749.l2649 for use as a 2nd card on my X5000 for Linux as according to your success this should hopefully support Hardware Acceleration.
I notice that it comes with an S-Video port and also a DMS59 Port where I was expecting a DVI. I know i can get a DMS59-VGA or DMS-DVI converter which isn't a problem but i decided to try this out using the S-Video port in the meantime but wasn't having much luck with getting this to display. I have tried this in all the PCI EX1 ports. The card does work as the onboard fan does spin around.
Am i right in thinking S-Video will not display due to the lack of a driver, or is there anything I may need to configure somewhere to get this to display under S-Video or indeed VGA as I think I may go for this adapter?
