Except that it hurts my environmentally-conscious self to "throw away" those desktop machines that are in working order, just lacking a good video card. eBay listings for PCI video cards are generally littered with - ATI Radeon 9200/9250 (which are R200 if I recall correctly) - nVIDIA MX4000 (of the NV10 family; too old?) - nVIDIA FX5200/FX5500 (of the NV30 family) Usually priced at 30$ or so. Perhaps the NV30 cards (such as the geforce FX 5200 and 5500) would be the only viable option? (if the hardware is fast enough) Looking at http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/FeatureMatrix , I'm not sure whether or not they are "expected" to run GNOME Shell as good as the radeon/intel drivers... _______________________________________________ gnome-shell-list mailing list gnome-shell-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-shell-list
