Re: [expert] Good vidoe card to use

2000-07-17 Thread Fran Parker

No problem with the All in Wonder Pro
with 7.0 (Air) with corresponding X.
Don't know about the 128.

The only thing I can't get to work yet,
is something that the programmers are
working on as we speak...TV Out, and
DVD.  The work on this is coming along
nicely, however it has not progressed
along well enough for me to try it yet.

The drivers work great in X and in console.

The Mesa and XATITV works great ... get
the latest version update after installation.
Minor bugs in version that ships with 7.0,
corrected for the most part in upgrade.

I love it!

Well, I put a brand new Vodoo3 2000 in my homebuilt Duron system.  It 
installed without a hitch and is working flawlessly.

I think there are some tuning tricks I can do when I get time, for 
accelerated 3d rendering.   They are already documented in the cooker 
archives--(author is Guillaume Cottenceau).

As for wheel mouse support, you do not need all of 7.1 for that.  Again, the 
cooker archives have many threads about it when it was being added, and how 
to load/use it etc.

I've also found the Matrox G200 to work pretty decently under both x3.6 and
4.  I bought some cheap little 4meg deal, and it's doing fine apart from the
fact that the card can't support anything higher than 1024x768 at 32bit
color ;)

I have a Diamond Viper 550. It is supported fine with the latest 3.3.6

I retrospect I would chose one of the Matrox G series for dual head and game
support.

Gil,

I have experienced the same thing with the Viper II under 7.0.  No support for
the card.  I've had to go back to a lowly ATI LT Pro to get x-windows up and
running with it.

I don't know about Diamond Viper II but one thing I do know is that
there is _no problem whatsoever_ with Voodoo Banshee and Mandrake 7.1
(and even previous Mandrake releases).
I have one since about 1 year and a half and it has been supported 
in Xfree since 3.3.5  (even using 3D with the proper Mesa package).
I repeat, _no problem whatsoever_  (well, in Linux, I wouldn't know
about Windows 2000  :-)

If you have a problem with this card it _must_ be something specific
to your system (e.g. I/O port or interrupt conflict ... but if that,
it can usually be overcome using BIOS setup).
