I'm always surprised just how little it needs. I would go for a cheap Nvidia card (you shouldn't need to spend more than £30). As long as the recent Nvidia drivers will run with it (which they should) you'll have no problems. It does mean using the proprietary drivers (the OSS "nv" driver won't work). PS: Hello Steve! You should come to a PLUG meeting, I can show you XGL working on SuSE with a cheap Nvidia card and a old Athlon 2400. I have to say that graphics performance with XGL is much better than without, in my opinion. Even with all the wizzy features its much smoother than the default Gnome install on my hardware. If you have low spec (but compatible) hardware don't be put off trying it - it may give your system a nice boost! I have a copy of the Kororaa (XGL/Gentoo) LiveCD if anyone wants to test their hardware. -- Mark Rogers More Solutions Ltd :: 0845 45 89 555 _______________________________________________ Peterboro mailing list [email protected] https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/peterboro
