Re: ATI Video Card Support
How are some of the other brands, like Matrox? I was reading through the
documentation and mailing list archives at http://utah-glx.sourceforge.net/,
and noticed that it supports the MGA G200 and G400, as well as the NVIDIA Riva
series. Has anybody set up Utah GLX with any of these cards? What is it like?
What is the speed increase noticed with the most?
