[-- Attachment #1 --] I'd appreciate comments from X users as to what videocards work well with XF86Config. I run a heap of CLI gateway / webserver / mailserver boxes, but occasionally have a use for GUI stuff as well. What I'm looking for are reasonably priced (ie not those horribly overpriced Matrox things) PCI or AGP videocards that allow something like 16 bit 800x600 resolution or better & which are straightforward to configure. I know to avoid rubbish like SiS which rarely work well even in Windows but I have no idea exactly what fairly basic cards do give good results.
