I was reading through the installation instructions for PowerPCDebian and I saw that it basically said that it would work with anyvideo card that XFree86 has support for. Is that also true for anold PCI Power Mac like my Performa 6400? Don't I need an OpenFirmware-enabled card?

What is the best video card anybody here has been able to get workingin a machine that old? Will a Radeon 9200 Mac Edition work?


Thanks for the help!

Daniel Boyd
