They have released a version of powerdesk for Linux.  It allows you to
change the video settings os a static basis (change setting and restart X)
rather than the 'one the fly' type windows settings.

They say that they have no plans to support the mystique or other video
editing type cards.  Which I think is a great shame and a mistake
considering all the really serious graphics work that is being done using
Linux.
