Re: [newbie] Please help me find the right VideoCard.
Also alot of the video cards that are "supported" on this list at Linux-mandrake and xfree, might not be fully suported with mandrake, or be "fully" suported. So please try not to substitute to a lower priced card that it says is compatable. I know on my linux systems I have had alot of luck with the Diamond V770, Power Color TNT2, i740 (newer xfree though) However I have had a real heck of a time with the cheaper sis 6326, and the S3 Trio cards that are said to be supported. The power Color tnt2 cards only cost me 70ish bucks, and that 32 megs and it looks sharp. sean F wrote: Sevatio, Video cards are the most problematic pieces of hardware you will have to deal with in linux, (NIC's are good for longer term probs :)) At the mandrake site you will find a "supp.hardware" link, http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/fhard.php3 As well as a link on that page to XFree86 site http://www.xfree86.org/3.3.5/index.html Look up the various video cards on the list's and you will see that The ATI 128 Rage chipset does not have support yet, I am not sure which Diamond card you have, but they have been very supportive in the past regarding Linux, You might just have a configuration problem there with the Diamond card.
