Hello, I am going to buy a new computer, but which video adapter/chip-set ? Many powerful new computers come with things like Matrox G400 or NVidia Riva TNT2. I am still using Slink with XFree 3.3.2, where these chips are not supported. However they are supported in potatoe with XFree86 3.3.5.
Does this mean that I _have _ to upgrade in order to use them, or can i use them in Slink without their extra functionality ? For upgrading I prefer to wait for a stable potatoe, or at least for potato-cdroms. There are some completely new chip-set brands in 3.3.5, such as 3dfx with Voodoo Banshee and Voodoo3, 3DLabs with GLINT and Permedia chips. I don't even dare to ask. And some Diamond cards come with a 'Savage 4', which I cannot find in any XFree86 documentation. What is it ? egbert Egbert Bouwman - Keizersgracht 197 II - 1016 DS Amsterdam - 020 6257991 ========================================================================
