If thats a desktop or tower computer – as I think from the initial posting it is – a dedicated card could still be added. But then one might argue why use integrated graphics at all. Well my main argument is that I am really quite fond with the Intel graphics. But then opensource radeon driver should work well, too, if the graphics card chosen is good supported. There is a feature matrix for the radeon driver for cards based on different chipset generations that should be quite easy to find. -- Martin 'Helios' Steigerwald - http://www.Lichtvoll.de GPG: 03B0 0D6C 0040 0710 4AFA B82F 991B EAAC A599 84C7 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
