Video Cards/Chipsets
Most cards are supported.
- Any card should work in text mode.
- vesafb should drive all VESA 2.0-compatible cards.
- Many cards have hardware accelerated 3D support.
Some are supported better than others...
- ATI, Intel, and Matrox are safe bets. They helped fund DRI development.
- Avoid Nvidia. Their cards work, but they require obfuscated-source drivers and a huge kernel module.
- See www.xfree86.org for the latest information.
