[clug] Video Cards for Linux

[Telek, John]

Depends on how pedantic you want to be about the driver.
I'm Nvidia through and through and could not care less about the closed
driver.
At least they have one for linux. I'm using an FX5200 and am more than
impressed.  :)

I also have a PCI tnt2 m64, and it's nice too. (NO I'm not giving it
away.  :) )

I have an older GF2MX, no TV out - which I'm looking to convert to
something with nicer support under X... 

On that front, what would clug folk recommend for cards that meet the
requirement of 'decent support' under linux/X11? (for values of 'decent
support' that I prefer to include 'hardware support good, 3d support not
too fussed since I don't game - though having my gl screensavers run
smooth would be nice, and out-of-the-(debian)-box drivers without having
to compile my own stuff... 

Anything in the age of the last 3 years or so is kind of what I'm
thinking...
