Unfortunately not, I have no spares and all my other machines are laptops except the Linux server but the graphics chipset is on-board. I am toying with the idea of just buying a cheap (non ATI) PCI graphics card off Ebay purely for running X. I know it would have an x86 BIOS onboard which would mean it couldn't be used as the primary display (I'd still keep the mac ATI card installed) but I suspect it may be possible to use it with X still - at least if it's possible to init the card without relying on its BIOS. > My apologies for not being able to find you a definitive solution.
