Both of those peripherals are well supported under Linux on both i386
and Alpha platforms.

The Millennium G200 is one of the fastest 2D video cards on the
market, and is supported by an interim patch for XFree86 IIRC. It
will be fully supported under XFree86 3.3.3, which should be released
RSN (probably before the end of November). It is kind of expensive,
though. There are a lot of cheap cards out there that should work
just fine.
