Thanks for the dose of reality.  The words on their web site seemed too
good to be true...

I was thinking of an NVDIA-based card for that and other reasons once I
have other things in shape on this machine.  I may wait until their new
system comes out in a few months, however.

Subject:  RE: [opendx-general] Linux support for 3d graphics cards




You will be spending your money for nothing.  Xi Graphics statement a
topic of controversial debate at XFree86 Developers list.  Basically it is
a
modified
XFree86.  Nothing better then XFree86 4.0.

You may be better of getting nVidia Geforce2 with 32 or 64 MB vid
RAM(www.nvidia.com).
 They have OpenGL drivers
for RedHat Linux, which installs on top of XFree86 4.0 and offers a very
good quality hardware
acceleration.  Even SGI is now shipping their Visual Workstations and Linux
Workstations
with nVidia GeForce2 video cards.

I am using it with RedHat 6.2 and RedHat 7.0
