>On a completely separate note... >anybody have opinions on the best high end video card for x-windows? >Thank you! Hi! For normal 2D/3D operation, you should have a look at the TNT2 cards, like the Viper 770 or ELSA Erazor III series. Chap got a V770 running under Linux with a 19" screen. He had a SUSE 6.2 Linux, the card was already pre-set for X-Windows. There he only needed to copy the 3D-files manually. Other good solution is the G400 from Matrox. Real screamer, good picture quality, and capable of 2 vid outs. Question is the X-Server support... Have seen it only under Win95, and there it really rocked. But as all those Linux ppl will work on it, there should be a solution soon.=20 For special apps like CAD you will want to look at special CAD boards or similar... Hands off from those Voodoo3 and GeForce cards... They draw much too much power, thus overheating power regulators...
