Hi Nick, I'd recommend a Permedia 2 based card, and not just because I work for 3Dlabs.
* They are dirt cheap these days. 8MB card for around $80 (I would have thought. I'm in the UK) * XFree86 now has a nice fast and stable X-server for them, although not included in slink as you need 3.3.3.1. There are test debs at http://master.debian.org/~branden/xsf.html though. * Its the chip thats being used by lots of developers as a test bed to bring 3D onto Linux. e.g. the SuSE guys @ http://www.suse.de/~sim/ * Kernel support is underway and in 2.2.x so you can run it as a framebuffer device. * I personally use them in several machines now and have very few problems.
