Quick question: Which driver should I use for an ATI Rage Mobility PCI card?

Hello all,

A while ago I purchased an ATi Rage Mobility PCI card refurbed from Newegg. I'd been using it in a Linux computer with whatever drivers Linux installed. Today I put it in a Win XP computer. With the drivers XP put on I get quite a bit of tearing and other visual oddities. On ATi's site it says to contact the manufacturer of the notebook for drivers for this chip, but it is a desktop card. So my question is which one of the Rage drivers to use. Choices are:

Rage 128 Pro family
Rage 128 Family
or Rage Pro Family


Thanks for an answer,
Swan

ATi does not supply generic drivers for anything built from their "Mobility" _chips_. You need to contact the makers of the _card_.

I'm not sure who the manufacturer of the card is. It was an ATi OEM product. It is an ATi Rage mobility chip on a PCI card with 8Mb of RAM. Is there not any generic driver for the Rage Mobility series?

EDIT: It's like this card, but PCI.
