AFAIK linux doesnt have any preferance towards AGP or PCI cards, except it does
probe for a PCI one. The problem could be that your card isn't supported by
Linux yet or it could be something simple, like you've selected the wrong
colour depth/screen resolution. Try running XF86Setup ( you may need to
install first though)
What card are you using? If it's a voodoo or
TNT card, then you can download the drivers for these. http://glide.xxedgexx.com
for the VooDoo drivers and the x-server. I think theres info there about other
graphix cards too.
