[TriLUG] Since we're discussing hardware...any thoughts on a "Linux-friendly" new video card??

[Vestal, Roy L.]

The NVidia GeForce Series.  I got an NVidia GeForce2-MX 32MB from Stay
Online for under $100.00.  All you have to do is download the Linux drivers
from www.nvidia.com and install them as instructed.  Took me 3 minutes to
install it and restart X.  DVD is supported.

It has come to my attention that I may have to replace my ATI Rage video
card which contains a DVD interface. Can anyone suggest a NEW video card
which may be suitable for someone using Linux. I also want a DVD interface
on the new one as well. I'm told that there are now just a few video cards
which are available from only two companies ATI being one and I can' recall
the name of the other. Suggestions anyone??
