Not true.  The Millenium II does come in an AGP version.  How do I know?  
because I have one.

I said Redhat 5.1 does not support the card out of the box, and that he should 
download the newest xfree (3.3.2) which does support the card which is 
available at:

http://www.xfree86.org/

Or your local mirror.  You do not need the SUSE driver since xfree supports 
this chipset now.
