Pretty much any Matrox card will work beautifully in any flavor of Linux! I have a G-450 (AGP) and love it Brian D.

Re: [expert] X - I give up!! - What's a good video card for 8.2
Anything by Nvidia works fine for me. Ati I hear is good too. except there is still no S-Video out support from ATI in linux, thats probably some macrovision licencing arguments? Apparently the ati.2 driver works, but thats not out the box with xfree86 4.2.0 i think. Has anyone had any luck with nvidia cards s-video out? I have not had chance to test those yet.

ATI are pretty well supported, as long as you don't go onto the latest card (bleeding edge stuff). nVidia if you don't mind the proprietary driver hassles.
