Dear list, just going through the process of dumping a 4D51T video card from out 500a box, we've found a cheap TNT2 card to replace it. Would this be a reasonable card? It's supported under X windows but am I wasting my time squeezing it into the Alpha box? Is there a web database showing hardware (including video cards) that are suitable for Alpha?
Check www.linuxalpha.org for the Hardware compatibility list. This is a user-generated list, people reporting what they have and haven't had success with on Alpha boxen.
Cheers, Rob
