Does anyone have a pointer?
The Radeon 9200 series is the strongest dedicated card currently
supported by Free drivers. The Intel integrated GMA900/950 stuff also
uses Free drivers, if your motherboard has this (though the
mode-setting stuff is through the video BIOS, as I understand it); and
it has performance equivalent to a Radeon 9500-ish according to
various X hackers whom I've spoken with.
These are not very powerful compared to the stuff currently on the
market, but they work very well. I've got a Radeon 9200 on mine and it
works beautifully. :)
Thanks Peter,
What I am looking for is 3D performance. I will just go and see if I can
find a comparison of Radeon 9200 and other cards (like my radeon 800 XL).
BTW my own card works well with the radeon driver for 2D, but I am
looking for 3D performance too (I don't know why, but I like playing
games :{ )
I will get back to you if I find anything new.
Guus.
