-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 That's probably a pretty big question, but one I could really appreciate some help with.
I got the new Linux machine up and running last night, and it went fairly well. I had problems getting the 64-bit distribution installed (I think I recall a message about it's not liking SATA DVD drives, and the symptom was that during the installation, it couldn't mount my CD), so that made the decision for me to go ahead with the 32-bit distro, just to move along. In fact, it may be quite a while before I exceed 2 GB of memory on this box, so that may end up being the best, after all. I couldn't get Linux to recognize the onboard NIC, but I had plenty of unused 10/100 PCI cards from back before we went wireless here, and the Linux box is within four feet of my router, so that problem was easily solved. And the Ethernet connection is faster than our wireless anyway. The only remaining problem is that the onboard video really sucks, because it's running in default VGA mode. Perhaps with some research, I could find out how to get Linux to recognize it, but I figured that would be wasted effort if I'm going to install a 3D card of some kind anyway. So that finally brings me to my question for this esteemed assembly: What's a good idea for a graphics card for someone who's NOT a gamer, but simply wants good responsive graphic output? And will be well supported by SuSE 10.2? With my present monitor, it only needs to support 1280x1024, but I wouldn't want to box myself in, in that regard. I guess I'm looking for a recommendation of a "best buy" in this area, and it's not something I've had a lot of experience with. In my work, and at home, I've always had computers that simply came with adequate graphics cards to start with, so I've never been in the market before. What's a good card that Linux will find easy to work with? Thanks in advance for your suggestions! -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with SUSE - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFGT99rdqy7mNl00FsRAtfIAJwImihQAJBoCr1+ZX5rz5OpLiO06QCgku2t EkoxBFFRaOvV3hHbYbpzjsA= =5ubO -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
