I once bought a Matrox G550 because of its linux compatible 3D acceleration. It wasn't the fastest Graphics card ever, but worked satisfactory with a binary driver fpor xfree86 provided by the manufacturer. Unfortunately, Matrox failed to accommodate their driver to xorg and didn't disclose enough details to let open source projects do the coding. After hours of frustrating trials and even screen freeze due to bugs in an back engineered accelerated driver I gave up, sold the card and switched to nvidia ever since. ---<(kaimartin)>--- -- Kai-Martin Knaak tel: +49-511-762-2895 Universität Hannover, Inst. für Quantenoptik fax: +49-511-762-2211 Welfengarten 1, 30167 Hannover http://www.iqo.uni-hannover.de GPG key: http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?search=Knaak+kmk&op=get _______________________________________________ geda-dev mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-dev
