The V5 5500 is only supported using dri so you will need Xfree 4.x
Try looking on http://www.xfree86.org and see if there is a link for it, I know I saw a link somplace I will post if I can remember where.
For Linux gaming nothing beats a GeeForce card and the MX line can be picked up dirt cheap. If you want great gaming in Linux I highly recomend this.
Also the old VooDoo 3 cards still work great and many games are available in Linux that play using glide.
