If you mean the ATI Mach64, then its not fully supported by X. I had one and 
couldnt get any "workable" resolution with it. The only possible 
resolution was 640x480. Have a look at comp.os.linux.x/setup/hardware 
newsgroups. There are quite a few posts concerning this problem.

There are lots of READMEs on the net which specify the supported cards. 
S3 are said to be quite good.

Good luck,
