Me to! But NOT JUST PCIe-16. I've got some older machines
which have no PCIe-16.

Hi,
I'm in the market for a new videocard (for a new workstation). I'm
looking for recommendations on what to buy given the following
requirements :
o MUST have two DVI outputs
o MUST be able to drive X with 2x 1600x1200
o MUST be PCIe-16
o SHOULD be passively cooled
An (obvious) non-requirement is fancy-smancy OpenGL support and other
look-at-me-mom-i'm-being-cool-features. Many xterms, some firefox and
a couple of mplayer'ed or VLC'ed video's is all I need.
Of course, the biggest requirement is that it MUST be supported in
OpenBSD/xenocara (-current is OK). An Open Source-friendly vendor is
preferred but I'm afraid the market is in quite a bad state at the
moment.
I had an ATI X1300Pro. It was everything I wanted except for the
OpenBSD-supportedness - I had to pass it off to someone else. I rather
not make the same mistake again, any suggestions ? First-hand
experience much appreciated.
Thanks,
Paul 'WEiRD' de Weerd
PS: The machine will probably run amd64 but I'm hoping that the
'supported by OpenBSD/xenocara'-requirement gets me hardware that is
pretty much arch-agnostic. If stuff is very much in development, I'd
settle for i386 as long as it works.
