Maybe GGI will do it. Still in early development.
GGI is short for General Graphics Interface and aims at kernel space ;)

I do like cards with the NVidia RIVA 128 chip like Diamond Viper, STB Velocity
or
I am running a mystique 2 4mb, is damn fast, with both windows and Xfree86,
it is a good fast 2d card.
BUT
It does not support a lot of the lower VESA2 resououtions (eg 400x300), this
will not cause any problems with linux, but in dos\windows stuff it can be a
real sh*t. - especially with games
A brilliant card for Xfree and a real steal at the moment is the
Xpert series from ATI: The XFree support is fab - all res, acceleration
features, most color depths (apart from 24 bit, that is) are supported
with 230MHz RAMDAC. Only drawback: No SVGAlib support (hardly any of the

I'd recommend Matrox's card, because it is one of the few which currently works
well with ggi (which is still an alpha project, but *very* cool), in addition
to X.

Should I buy a Chevy or a Ford? (-: (Sorry for the non-US who will not

Xfree in 1152x864 @ 16 and 24bpp w/ no hassles. Smooth and fast. I
would recommend a Millenium for serious stuff -- but that is out of your
price range.

Which Matrox card?

Which Matrox?
Either a Mystique (4mb) or a Millenium (8 or 12mb). The millenium is
out of the price range you asked for (200-240 US).
