We have an old Dell Precision 610 workstation that I’m working on setting up as our Asterisk VoiceMail/VoIP box and ran into a snag with Fedora Core 4.

The Fire GL 1000 Pro is detected (correctly) as a 3DLabs Permedia 2 chip, but the DCC probe is screwed up, so I couldn’t set it to more that 800×600 with 256 colors - that blows!

After some Googling, I found that running this command:

system-config-display --set-videoram=8192 --forceui

that lets you tell X that your card has 8MB ram and then I had lots of options. Works great!
