I have not been able to find a lot of information on these issues. Could someone clue me in or supply some good pointers? If anyone is already using a UXGA with DVI and has specific recommendations, suggestions or feedback, I'd love to hear it.
My GeForce FX 5500 has DVI output, works well with Linux, and is a fairly cheap card to buy these days yet still gives real good performance (you probably can't turn up ALL the details on the latest games, but that beats buying a $400 video card in my opinion)
Oops. I should have updated this post.
Based on the Tom's Hardware Guide article and a fair bit of on-line research into support for Radeon-based cards under Linux (including the fact the SuSE 9.3 includes the latest driver from ATI), I chose the ABIT ATI Radeon 9600 XT GPU 256MB (R9600XT-VIO). Amazon sells it for $177 (US).
Now I need a DVI KVM switch with USB support and at least three ports...
I've been using a Belkin KVM switch for years with DVI and USB.
I gotta' say, I really, really love this flat-panel display (the ViewSonic VP201b). I hope I never see another CRT. Certainly never in my home office! Work is another story.
