My only requirements are: * That it works with amd64 (on FreeBSD, obviously). * That it supports Xvideo. * That it has decent 2D performance. * That it works with wide screen resolutions (so I guess basically modern hardware + modern driver). Unfortunately, the 'nv' driver has significant performance issues so nVidia cards are out. I love what ATI is doing with the radeonhd driver, but no Xvideo yet. I know Matrox used to be a good bet, but apparantly modern cards require binary blobs. I hear good things about Intel chipsets, but then I cannot find any cards that have them (only integrated on motherboards, which puts too much of a constraint on the choice of motherboard). Anyone got any recommendations? --=20 / Peter Schuller PGP userID: 0xE9758B7D or 'Peter Schuller ' Key retrieval: Send an E-Mail to getpgpkey@scode.org E-Mail: peter.schuller@infidyne.com Web: http://www.scode.org --dDRMvlgZJXvWKvBx Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAkjT/bQACgkQDNor2+l1i32LdwCeOKxdlF+rogem+eX5JjR4eqiw eCkAoJd8VQ3s/oRcoG4LvEW3+He0dt1t =l3uy -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --dDRMvlgZJXvWKvBx--
