Since there is no available driver for the Intel HD Integrated Graphics card on the Intel MB I bought last week, I've inquired about supported PCI Express cards that I could install instead. My usual merchant carries cards of Ndivia and ATI, and has in stock ATI HD3650.
A web search assures me that this card belongs to the Redeon series; <man ati> says that Radeon is supported, so I assume that this one is.
He also has similar Nvidia cards. I am shying away from Nvidia because I have seen over the years so many discussions about difficulties, perhaps quirks in the available drivers, that make them seem like avoidable trouble. And yet I know that many buy and use them, so I am perhaps exaggerating the risk. I'd be happy to read any comment anyone has to offer about this.
Hi Stan, I have experienced the same story with NVIDIA in the past (ago 3-4 years). This was the reason that I switched to AMD graphics card. I have not regretted it. I have a ATI Radeon 3870 in my computer. It works with the radeon driver (depended of used kernel version, but sometimes not really good) or the proprietary ATI Catalyst Display Driver from AMD (That is currently a better choice). There is also one other reason to buy an AMD graphics card. ;-) I am the openSUSE Packaging Script Maintainer for ATI Catalyst and a intensive beta tester of ATI Catalyst Driver for next versions since November 2010 and have a direct contact with AMD. I like to mediate between openSUSE user and AMD, if any problems arise with the driver. I help the user in setting up the graphics card, but often is not necessary. It is easy to install on openSUSE. http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:ATI_drivers Everyone gets the graphics card, which he deserves. ;-) -- Kind regards, Sebastian - openSUSE Member (Freespacer) Website/Blog: http://www.sebastian-siebert.de Important notes on openSUSE Mailing List: http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Mailing_list_netiquette -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
