I want to be able to run X with debian. Older monitor died and had an

work in X and wouldn't with the monitor it was originally running. So
what kind of monitor card is likely to cause no problems when it gets
put into this Dell and runs the ev910 monitor? Earlier I was given a
g-force64 monitor card that prevented the Dell from getting to post test
and an engineer I know thinks Dell voltage is too low for that card.
This is a vintage 1999 dell desktop.
Any NVidia card (Though, I admit, I've only had experience with AGP ones)
Personally, I'd find and get the cheapest one you can find :) (So long as
it is NVidia).
However, before you spend money, try using a different driver. ATI cards
are _PICKY_, sometimes you must use the free version, and sometimes you
must use the commercial drivers from the ATI website. If neither works,
get the NVidia.
