I currently use machines with the following cards: Intel i845 Intel i945 Matrox G200 Radeon 7000 S3 Savage IX and I used a GeForce2 MX in a machine for quite some time. Out of all of those, the i945 (With the CVS/0.6.2 driver) & Savage IX are the best supported. The GeForce2 MX was also near-perfect. The Radeon 7000 and i845 and good, but the Radeon 7000 suffers from "shimer"; possibly poor memory-timing in the Radeon driver. Support for the G200 is basic, but it does work and it is accelerated, but it is the only card on the list that does not support video overlays. However, the log from your 6000 GT would be useful, as Arno said. -- Vanders http://www.syllable.org http://www.liqwyd.com |
