ATI graphic cards under Puppy (maybe also Beryl)?
Posted: Sun 29 Apr 2007, 21:19
Hello!
I'm just about upgrading / rebuilding my system and I've heard a lot of noise about ATI graphic cards being not properly supported under Linux systems like Puppy. I'd prefer ATI cards, for they seem to be cheaper and more energy-efficient along with having better output signals...
Can somebody tell me anything about this rumors of Nvidia being the better choice for Linux systems? I'm thinking of buying a mainboard with onboard graphics first and then upgrading with an ATI card. ? . ! ?
Of particular importance to me: how would an ATI card perform at higher graphic modes under Linux, such as used by Beryl and AIGLX?
I read about ATI drivers aren't supporting Beryl currently... hmm...
