Whereas my ATI Radion 9200SE does tuxracer just fine using the default drivers compiled into the kernel, using x.org-6.8.1-901, home built. My last nvidia card failed, and burnt the mobo up too. But I've since taken that cpu, put it and the half gig of memory on a Mach-Speed board with the onboard video disabled and a newer nvidia card in it, and its running my milling machine fairly well using emc-4.30. >regards, >Rudolf Kastl > >2005/10/24, tlc <tlc@xxxxxxxxxxx>: >> On Mon, 2005-10-24 at 15:48 +0200, Rudolf Kastl wrote: >> > if you wanna play games id seriously recommend an nvidia card. >> > price money comparison under linux will just give you more value >> > atm... >> > >> > e.g. i am pretty happy with a gforce 6200 128bit/128mb pcie for >> > just 80 euros atleast doom3 works like a charm. >> > >> > on the other hand...my work thinkpads radeon works without the need >> > to install proprietary drivers at all but for gaming... ;). >> >> the nvidia cards will work with out the proprietary drivers as well .. >> as a matter of fact they work great with the nv driver.
