Hi: My computer vendor sent me a new AMD 64 box with an ATI Radeon 9200 which doesn't seem to work with Suse 8.2 which is the distro I am testing the box with (soon to update to Suse 9.1). The card seems to be broken besides not being recognized by X, in that the DVI output gives garbage even in text mode. I'll be sending it back, but need to choose a better replacement. I don't need cutting edge graphics performance. I'd rather a 1-2 year old card that is recognized by X servers back to Suse 8.2 or 8.1. I do mostly 2D CAD stuff, not a gamer. I'd like it to be in the $100-$200 range. I pulled the ATI card and installed a MSI FX5200 with the NVIDIA GeForce FX chip that I borrowed from another machine. This works Ok, but only with the analog out, not DVI. Actually the DVI works with a D/A converter dongle, but DVI direct to my Viewsonic VP201m 1600x1200 flat panel makes the monitor go blank. Strange. I need a DVI port that I can plug the monitor into directly, because I want to share the monitor between two PCs, one with analog and one with DVI so I don't need to buy a DVI KVM switch, which is way too $$$. I can't KVM switch 1600x1200 analog without substantial image degradation. Recommendations on a known to work DVI output video card for up to 1600x1200 would be appreciated. Thanks. Good day! -- ____________________________________ Christopher R. Carlen Principal Laser/Optical Technologist Sandia National Laboratories CA USA crcarle@sandia.gov
