I can't see what the particular linux distribution has to do with
that.  I assume you want to run X11 (XFree86).

Diamond was never very forthcoming with technical data as far as I
remember.  Also, the model number may not be a guarantee that all
cards with that same model number actually have the same chipset.

I do have a Diamond Stealth in one of my systems, and it turned out it
has the Trio32 chipset (S3 based) on it.  That chipset is supported by
XF86.
