You might consider a Matrox G450 or an ATI Radeon VE or an ATI Radeon
7000. I *believe* all of these should have good 2D, free software
drivers, and under $70.

As usual, get a second opinion.

On that note...
Anyone know where I can get a reasonably priced USB KVM locally? The one
I got from Hawking Technologies died after a year. Video still switches,
USB seems dead. I'm completely off of PS/2 and having to swap keyboards
is frustrating!
