[Xpert]Re: What is the most powerful, best supported video card?

2002-11-04 Thread Harold Martin
I would prefer OS drivers for reasons other than whether or not I plan 
to hack on them. What I would really like a pointer to is a data base 
of recent cards supported natively by X.
Thanks,
Harold Martin

Hello,
I'm planning to buy a video card soon. I like the best performance, 
but
one that's fully compatible with X. I'm looking at nVidia, but I'm not
sure  I want to go with them since the most stable drivers seem to be
their own, proprietary ones. I'd really appreciate your opinions on
this.
Thanks,
Harold Martin


the real question Harold is Do you care if the source is available, 
i.e. to
modify it?
If not then the closed source issue is moot.  I'd recommend letting 
your
usage tell
you which way to go.

[Xpert]State of Intel i845G support?

2002-11-01 Thread Harold Martin
Hey,
I'm building my new PC now and I'm looking at the MSI 845G with Intel 
i845G graphics. Since I'm going to be running linux on this box, I'd 
like to know what the current support for this chipset is. I've read 
various reports about it, but I'd at least like to know more about it 
and X. Is it working from CVS? At all?
Thanks for you help,
hbmartin

[Xpert]Support for the onboard graphics of the MSI 845g

2002-10-30 Thread Harold Martin
Hey,
What (if any) is the support for the MSI 845g graphic engine? It uses 
the Intel Extreme graphics chips. I've heard various reports about it, 
so I'm kind of stuck.
Thanks for your help,
hbmartin
