Want dual head, great 3D, full Linux support
i have a fx 5600 for sale cheap 256 ddr
"Keith Clark" wrote in message news So am I dreaming, or is it possible? I'm building a new system, coming from a Matrox G400 currently (which has rather poor GL performance). I want to play games under Windows 2000, and be able to use all the dual-head features and hardware GL support in Linux. I heard There were some cards that did some or all of these things but I'm having trouble finding one. Any recommendations? Thanks in advance... |

Well I know that my TI4200 works good with Mandrake linux without special drivers. I have not tried Quake yet but 3D seems to be working. Thanks! I was just looking at some benchmarks of the 4200 vs the 4400/4600 based cards on Anandtech. The 4200's are pretty reasonably priced, the corner store (literally, 4 blocks from my house) has MSI cards, Ti4200 based for just over a hundred bucks, which seems really reasonable. Which version of XFree86 are you running, 4.3? Are you using it in Xinerama? Does nVidia give you a configuration tool or do you need to tweak XF86Config by hand (that's one area where Matrox has me spoiled).
