I'm in the market for a new video card, so I'm fishing for suggestions. I will mostly be working in 2D apps (mainly internet, office apps). I do *not* intend to play any taxing 3D games such as Quake or Counter-Strike; however, I would like to do some video editing (transferring home movies to DVD or VCD, perhaps some DVD ripping).
Ideally, I'd like to run at 1600x1200 or higher on a 20" monitor at 24bit color depth. Would a pre-Radeon ATI card or pre-GeForce3 nVidia card do the trick? Would I need to bother with compiling the proprietary drivers if not using 3D apps? In perusing the list archives, I see that the newer ATI/nVidia cards will not even work without grabbing XFree 4.3 from Experimental, so I'd rather use an older card that works out of the box with Sarge/Sid and kernel 2.4.x, particularly if I don't need to extra power of the newer cards. Thanks for any suggestions. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
