I 've got Speedstar24X too. I had problems at first but mostly monitor-card
related. The card is easily configured and 100% compatible with WD chips.
I believe, 30's.
In terms of drivers,well, you need none. All you'll need is change
settings in Xconfig file.
Forget about the BBS. They don't like UNIX at Western Digital: the
maker of Speedstar 24X.
The only probles is that you can't use True color capabilities.
Linux supports true color only on et3000 chips.

P.S. I maybe wrong about the names like et3000, my girlfriend's name, etc.
