Yes, _PLEASE_! (s/video cards/chipsets) I use AMD, not Nvidia, but I have been looking for over a year for a low end card actively supported by drm-kmod and/or drm-current-kmod. Figuring out which chipsets they support ... let's just call it both educational and frustrating. (For anyone in my position: I _think_ the RX 460 and above support GCN 2.1, which is what I _think_ is the bottom-end specification. Cards matching this number seem to start at about US $50.) Hopefully, Robert Huff
