I used a standard pci graphics card in a pci-x slot with no noticeable problems. You could at least try it.
Why am I doing this BTW? -- I'd rather stay with text mode -- it's a server. I don't sit in front of it and do work.
Because you complained that framebuffer text video on your server ttys is slower than BIOS text video, which is backwards from my experience any time comparing similar rowsXcolumns modes.
I know nothing about PCI video cards
My current card is a Nvidia 690 w/3G of memory, so while it might be useful to have a desktop available on it, but then it would never be a fraction of what the 690 is, so might not be worth it....
Seems like no one knew how to keep systemd from switching mods into frame buffer it it could (the driver for this card just got some limited support for frame buffer stuff in 3.7, but it's pretty low level...
Most console text users have no complaints about console framebuffer text speed. The only time framebuffer text hasn't been faster than my eyes can follow has been while the CPU is running above 99% for reasons other than what I'm doing on a vtty. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
