There seems to be good support for the Nvidia RivaTNT chipset, and lots of cheap 16 meg cards based on them. If I were to get a new sound card soon, I'd probably get a soundblaster 64 PCI; any PCI card based on the es1370 chipset. (I believe es1371 is also supported.) > 3D features of G200 are currently unsupported, but 1. you probably don't > need them anyway, 2. it's expected that this will be one of the first > 3D-accelerated cards, natively supported with GLX in XFree86. Nvidia cards are already supported. The GL xlock savers look awesome. -- we are but packets in the internet of life To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
