Recommendation on video card?

2015-04-24 Thread Petter Adsen
I have an AMD HD5450 card in my desktop, which has been mostly adequate for me, but now it is time to retire it. Can anyone recommend a more recent card that works well with X? I'm using two screens, so I will need at least two outputs - preferably digital. I have been quite happy with AMD, so I'd

Is it possible to have two VGs on the same PV? If so, how can I make a VG with lots of free space smaller? I'm suspecting that the answer to my first question is "no", since this doesn't seem possible from the man pages. Petter -- "I'm ionized" "Are you sure?" "I'm positive." pgpkZgFpuk4rE.pg
