I own an ATI Radeon 9600XT, and only with the latest driver version works under Xorg 6.8. I didn't find it very hard to get the driver working, but by all means check the archives for potential problems. I'd reccommend an Nvidia; I've also had problems w/ the card in windows. Having never *owned* an nvidia 3d card, I will defer to those on the list. However, had I the $, I'd be the proud owner of some Nvidia card right now. -- Be the person your dog thinks you are -- [email protected] mailing list
