Abhi,
According to SGI's webpage
(http://www.sgi.com/flatpanel/superwide_savvy.html), there are a
number of video cards that support the SGI 1600SW (hardware-wise).
The Matrox Millenium G400 immediately appears as the most
easily-available card (I believe) that is listed. These cards can be
cross-referenced for software support by the XFree86 project
(http://www.xfree86.org) that provides (in version 3.3.6) the X-Window
System for Debian Potato. Looking at
http://www.xfree86.org/3.3.6/MGA1.html#1 it would appear that the G400
is supported (with caveats) and therefore the 1600SW should work fine.
You should double-check all this on your own and might want to do
further web (ie google, etc.) checks to find the info yourself.
Take care,
Daniel
