I agree with Chris: you probably haven't frozen three video cards, unless they all use the same driver, and its' buggy. Cheap might work in your favor, there, as the older more basic cards should work better. I've never had issues with basic SVGA cards, for example. Along with what Chris said, there are brick-and-mortar shops in many places that recycle computers, and would probably sell off older, lesser video cards pretty cheap. Also, a lot of smaller retailers (and possibly larger ones) will be sitting on old stock that never sold and couldn't be returned. I *am* however, personally very happy with the NVidia proprietary drivers. They share 90% of the code across their windows/mac/linux drivers, and the driver feels very complete. They've also been contributing linux drivers for a long time. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Linux Users Group.
