I have a quite similar problem with my ATI Xpert@Play. Well , I know, I 
already asked you about one year ago. But I never give up. 

The ATI Xpert@Play is correctly identified. I guess it should have the same 
BIOS string as the ATI Xpert@Work. 
I got a step further in the installation. RIO could start but doesn't look 
very nice. The screen is overlapped like a broken TV. I can see enough to 
install the operating system  but not to play very long with it. 

Is there no solution at this point ? Or would some miraculous entry in the 
vgadb correct the problem by setting the right clock ? Trying different 
screen resolutions only make it worse.
