What kind of nVidia card do you have? I've got a Matrox G400 here which would be fine for your needs, and I'm willing to trade/barter.Okay folks, I've had enough of my Nvidia card.
I need to get a new card that will be more compatible with Gentoo Linux.
Here's the basic requirements:
1. PCI based (as the nvidia is using agp and it's onboard :-( 2. Completely compatible and dependable with the 2.6+ series of kernels. 3. Capable of driving monitor at 1600x1200.
I don't use the box for gaming or image processing. It's strictly for developing code, browsing, document editing, and other simple tasks.
Please send me your recommendations for brand, memory, etc.
Thanks in advance!

I'm quite fed up with my Hercules AIW 9800SE (128MB)-- you can have that too, since you don't need 3D-- it works fine for normal tasks, using the VESA driver, the Radeon driver, or even the closed-source ATI binary drivers. Unfortunately, I do play games, and the TV-in is not supported under Linux, so this card became pretty much a waste of money once I went Linux-only.
Not a joke or a scam; but if you really want a recommendation, I'd say Matrox is your best bet (like the 550 or so; no need for a Parhelia).
