Now I've got the newer CD-based version, and it doesn't show on my PC, but it runs on newer PCs. So I'm guessing that the video args ... 24 Jan 2010 05:42

Relatively inexpensive video cards for Linux
[Sorry if this post shows up more than once - posting appeared to fail before, but it may not have.] My question is similar to David Brown's post, "Graphics cards for Linux", except that I am looking for something cheaper and with less demanding performance requirements. I'm looking for a card that costs no mor... 2 Feb 2010 15:11
