Hello all! I have this older Compaq Prosignia 200 server that has a really crappy PCI video card in it which I wanted to upgrade just so that it makes it easier on my eyes when running X sessions. It's not used for any heavy duty serving or anything like that. More like a test machine. Sometimes I use it for handling syslog message from various devices here in the company, but I'm using another machine for that right now. Back to my question... I was considering getting a Matrox G400 because it would most likely provide really nice 2D acceleration, higher resolutions, and nice color. What I was wondering is could I get hardware acceleration out of that PCI card or is XFree4's 3D acceleration for AGP cards only? I know I'll need to read some more docs on this on the XFree86 site, but I thought maybe someone here can lead me to answer. Thanks in advance.
