Sorry about that wickedly un-wrapped message I posted before...
Anyway, it is a Creative Labs 3D Blaster Banshee. My reason
for choosing the Creative was almost solely based on price. Even
the uncommon brands, like your own PowerColor (which I have re-
gretfully never heard of), were more expensive ($105-130 US) than
mine at $99 US. Also, I knew that Creative has kept up on 3Dfx
video BIOS revisions.
Now, I haven't even tried to install the server yet, and am
frankly intimidated by the prospect. My version of SaX (included
with SuSE 6.0) does not recognize or support my Banshee-based
card, so it's going to take some editing. The frame buffer has
officially made it to my "never-do-this-again" list, so I'm left
to flounder around with Pico and configuration scripts.
I don't suppose you'd mail me a copy of your XF86Config, would
you :) ? For reference, I'm using a Smile CL1414 monitor, which
is capible of 1600 by 1200 at 16-bit color (that's what I use un-
der Windows). It is very satisfying for a budget model monitor.
