Pyro? Didn't your diag-program say Kyro? I believe Kyro was the name of
some chip that was surrounded by a lot of hype when it hit the market,
but it never reached much of a market share. The main attraction was
decent gaming performance achieved through intelligent design rather
than brute force, and a low price tag.
It may be that the chip is not supported in most distros. But even if
there is no direct support for it, X should work in VESA mode.
http://ftp.x.org/pub/X11R7.0/doc/html/manindex4.html has a list of
drivers included in the current version of X.org. I have no personal
experience with Kyro based cards, but the list does not mention Kyro at
all. That could indicate that Kyro based cards are not supported, and
rather than falling back to VESA modes (which should work on any card)
most distros (with Linspire as a notable exception) just fail whenever
trying to load the graphical interface.
