I've found the Voodoo3 to have excellent 2D visual quality, and very
good 3D visual quality. I chose it over the other options because I hav
Unfortunately there's not a video card for XF86/Linux that does both great 2D
and 3D at the same time as far as I know. G400 is great for 2D but it's very CPU
dependent as far as 3D is concerned. The reason why geforce cards are so slow
currently in 3D in XF86 is because drivers are not ready yet
I love my g400 max. Matrox is always the leader in 2d, and this carddoes
great with things like quake 3 area, so I'm guessing that more than enough
3d. But I'm not sure if its dual headed stuff is supported. If it is,
could someone tell me how? that would rock.

for best performance Matrox G400 series is the best choice. for best
compadiblity one of the 3dfx cards. Matrox has fully accelerated 3D/AGP
etc in linux. while 3dfx has..those glide games like myth2 and unreal
tournament(although g400 support is semi working in UT)
i got a G400, not in use though

Hi all.
I bought recently a STB Velocity, which uses the Riva TNT chip, and it
works fine with the last Xfree86 version (3.3.3.1).
I think is a good chip and it's very standard. It's supported under the
SVGA server in the last version.
I hope this will help you.

Hi Nick,
I'd recommend a Permedia 2 based card, and not just because I work for
3Dlabs.
* They are dirt cheap these days. 8MB card for around $80 (I would
have thought. I'm in the UK)
* XFree86 now has a nice fast and stable X-server for them, although
not included in slink as you nee

I got S3 DX/Virge with 4Mb memory. Works very well with hamm, never had
problems with setting up X on it (SVGA server.) Costs $30-50, depending
upon the vendor.
