I am using an ATI Radeon 7500 on the DVI output at its maximum res of 1600x1200, and it works fine with X under testing. This card can do higher resolutions on analogue as well.
I would suggest avoiding an OEM card based on the Radeon chips. I have read that the OEM cards, for unclear (to me) reasons to not work properly with standard XFree drivers, although perhaps ATI's own drivers would work better. I had an OEM version initially, and there was a line of incorrect pixels runnign down the side of the screen. This problem went away when I got a new ATI-branded 7500; of course, I don't know if this was just single defective card or a problem with teh OEM version. I have seen the ATI-branded 7500 cards with dual VGA/DVI output for around $75, so it's not that much more expensive. nl On Wed, 2003-05-28 at 10:01, J F wrote: > Is there a cheap high resolution (1600x1200) video card for debian. > > My old system is running an ATI 3D Pro Turbo PC2TV installed > 4 years ago. > > The thing I liked about it is I have a Virtual desktop > of approximately 2000 x 1800 > with a panning window of 1600x1200. > > Fonts were readable even if medium size. > > Does the Radeon 7000 have or the Nvdida have > this capability? > > I would even go for a virtual desktop of 3200x2400 > if the card and driver would let me without a > lot of hassle. > > 3D is not important, but 2D and crispt text > is very, very important. > > I see some ATI OEM radeon 7000 for $32 to $45 > and wonder if they would work ok? > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with a subject of "unsubscribe".
