I'm thinking of building myself a new computer this summer. Apparently current motherboards don't have AGP slots, so I'll need a new graphics card to replace my ancient ATI Rage 128. I don't want to use closed source drivers, period. I understand that that might mean no 3D acceleration, but that doesn't particularly matter to me (the most graphics-intensive thing I do is edit large still photographs). What I don't know is whether any of the lower cost graphics cards out there are not fully supported even in 2D by Xorg 7.2. (BTW, I'll be happy to take suggestions about motherboards, if anyone has any particular experiences. I'm agnostic between AMD and Intel.) -- Robert Krawitz <rlk-FrUbXkNCsVf2fBVCVOL8/A at public.gmane.org> Tall Clubs International -- http://www.tall.org/ or 1-888-IM-TALL-2 Member of the League for Programming Freedom -- mail lpf-BtI67efEdsDk1uMJSBkQmQ at public.gmane.org Project lead for Gutenprint -- http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net "Linux doesn't dictate how I work, I dictate how Linux works." --Eric Crampton -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
