SOME Intel are supported - they did release all code needed to drivers, and 
have produced someall OSS. Which ones, I don't know.

What I do know, is that the latest driver from nVidia is not good.AGAIN. 
I'm back to 16-bit to watch a DVD.

I vote for Nvidia also   and unless you are really in need of high 
performance, look for one without a fan.

Fans seem to be the things that break first on a computer and they are 
sometimes very hard to replace.

The question is what?

The box is not the latest and greatest but...


Any ideas folks

This is really a personal opinion, but I had more success with nVidia
cards - their driver support is better, this, and the integration with
the YaST script to install, makes the things more useful. And their
linux support forum is better, and actually there some guys from
nVidia are answering ... :)

hi,
have been using a gforce mx4000 for almost 2 years.  no problems at all from 
9.0, 9.3, 10.0, 10.1, and 10.2 , and very inexpensive.  works fine with any 
of the the nvidia linux drivers distributed over the years.
