Re: DEC Alpha Xfree86 video card what works?
Well, I've had success with ATi cards (several models, Mach64 and
Rage) and with an Nvidia TNT2 on a Alphastation XP1000.
I guess most cards supported by XFree86 on x86 will work (I had some
problems with an S3 card though, but I don't remember the exact
model).

I have tried using a Matrox Millennium II video card in both MGA and VGA modes and have been getting an xfree86 server crash saying that the "screen is not found". I have also tried an older Trident video card running it in VGA mode with the same error.

I am sure that someone is out there who is actually running a system like mine with a working video card? I would like to know the make and model of the card that you are using and the extent to which it works.
