Can anyone vouch for the ease-of-use factor with these cards? I've seen them for $60 US and under, and was wondering if they were worth the investment. Those of you paying close attention may have noticed that I started out with a Voodoo Banshee by Creative Labs and I have since moved back to an SiS6326 card I had laying around. The SiS is still fairly cranky, compared to my ol' reliable S3 ViRGE DX card, and I wonder if the Permedia is any more or less cranky.
Just a shot in the dark. I appreciate any assistance.
A shot in the dark is a very good description of your chances for getting the Permedia2 to work...
The current drivers work very well, at least in 32bit color. Were you using them? Without the proper drivers, included in current and recent SuSE distributions, 640x480 at 16 colors is the best you could do and not very useful. I know, I couldn't use my main office system with Linux for six months because the drivers weren't available. Since they have been available, SuSE has included them. I don't think SuSE would have included them if they didn't work...
