> Do not get a ATI Rage Fury 128 AGP. Matrox makes good cards that work well with X. I disagree. I use to be a fan of Matrox Cards. I've used the Matrox Millenium II, Mystique 200, and the G200. All of which have glitches with X. Adobe Acrobat with any of these cards messes up and can't display the page clearly. If you switch from X to the console (via cntl-alt-Fn) you will get sometimes a "rainbow" look across the top of the monitor. Sometimes it stays and locks your console up. With the Mystique 220, I get a ghosting block on the screen that will just stay there until you reboot. It looks like a UPC bar code. Whereas ATI Rage IIC and Xpert98 all work fine with no hickup's or side effects that I have seen. I'd bet it is more of the X server then that of the Matrox card itself. As I have used the Millenium II in a dual boot NT/FreeBSD and it worked fine using NT. I'd stay with the ATI's.
