hello,im in the mood for another video card, my current is buggy with the current release of debian, i can't get video playback, well, i'm sure i can, but it's a lot of work, and i would have to use closed drivers, or whatever they're called.so, i'm asking for suggestions of video cards under debian/linux, i would like it to work out of the box, i would like it to be relatively cheap ($75-$150), it doesnt have to be new, or handle games, as i use consoles for that. but i want video playback, also, a nice resolution wouldn't be that bad.any suggestions?
Radeon 9200 for $80. I got mine (actually a 9000 for $89 last July)from Thompson's Computer Warehouse[1] (http://www.tcwo.com/cgi-bin/webc.cgi/st_prod.html?p_prodid=2396&sid=44oBmP0@qJxQ0Dm).
The 9200 is supported extremely well with XFree86 4.3 (currently in experimental) and the open source DRI drivers. -Roberto [1] I'm not affiliated with them, they just happen to be the place where I most recently bought some equipment.
