[opensuse] Video Cards!
With what seems like a plethora of problems with Nvida and ATI controlling their drivers plus the need to replace my own ati (dying memory on the card) I'm wondering if it's time to look at something else The question is what?

hi, have been using a gforce mx4000 for almost 2 years. no problems at all from 9.0, 9.3, 10.0, 10.1, and 10.2 , and very inexpensive. works fine with any of the the nvidia linux drivers distributed over the years. -- This computer is powered by OpenSuse 10.2 8:20am up 2 days 15:09, 1 user, load average: 0.10, 0.37, 0.85 kernel-2.6.18.2-34-default http://norwichlinuxusersgroup.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I vote for Nvidia also.... and unless you are really in need of high performance, look for one without a fan. Fans seem to be the things that break first on a computer and they are sometimes very hard to replace. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

This is really a personal opinion, but I had more success with nVidia cards - their driver support is better, this, and the integration with the YaST script to install, makes the things more useful. And their linux support forum is better, and actually there some guys from nVidia are answering ... :) -- Svetoslav Milenov (Sunny) Even the most advanced equipment in the hands of the ignorant is just a pile of scrap. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

SOME Intel are supported - they did release all code needed to drivers, and have produced some....all OSS. Which ones, I don't know. What I do know, is that the latest driver from nVidia is not good.....AGAIN. I'm back to 16-bit to watch a DVD.

What's the number of the driver? 9631 should be good. 9629 had some problems. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
