Can anyone recommend a video card for Linux? I have a couple of
criteria, but I think most bars are set pretty low:
1. DVI out - I am looking at an LCD monitor, and most require DVI - my
Matrox G450 is VGA only, and I understand that LCDs do well with digital
input.
2. Can perform basic 3D rendering - at least the OpenGL stuff to some
degree. I'm not gaming, but I wouldn't mind be able to at least
experiment with xgl/compiz.
3. Cheap.
4. Has acceptable performance with open source drivers. I am not going
to install any binary-only modules.
The last one is not negotiable. If someone has an older card gathering
dust that would fit these criteria, I would happily buy it from you.
Thanks.
