Hi Simon, Ive installed the nvidia driver on this box, following the instructions in the README. But when running startx I get NVIDIA: failed to set MTRR, at 0xd00 256MB (WC) Is this a problem? X seems to start normally. But no nvidia logo appears. Thanks, Petr

In general any Intel (using ADD2 card) or dual DVI ATI card will do. From my personal experience (using various Intel, ATI and Nvidia cards) I'd recommend ATI up to R500 though. -- Hasso Tepper

Which graphics card should I get that would work well in DF, any ideas? nvidia, the binary driver works quite well. I do have problems when using more than 2GB of RAM though, but it seems that this also happens on FreeBSD. cheers simon
