The only advice I can offer is not to use anyhting that contains an SIS Chipset....they perform, um, erratically with XFree86.

Hi everybody.
I know this is a frequently asked question on this list, but I have a list of 
candidates and I would like your recommendations for the best cards, using 
only free drivers.
I have the following cards in mind:

Leadtek WinFast A170 TH GeForce 4 MX 420 64MB AGP TV-Out
Asus V7100 Pro Pure MX400 64MB AGP
Gainward GeForce2 MX400 64MB AGP
ATI / Powercolor Radeon 9000 64MB DDR 250MHz TV/DVI
ATI Radeon 7500 Dual Head 64MB AGP

The radeon 9000 is a budget version, but still more expensive than the others, 
so that's a minus.
My needs are simple, I'm only looking for a card that's good enough and 
supports AGP 4x, uses free drivers and ...

Above all, it musn't ever freeze, including when switching between X and the 
virtual consoles. 

I don't do any gaming, so that's really not an issue. It's compatibility with 
my motherboard, smoothness in 2-D use and stability that count.

Thanks,

Narfi.
