Re: Best supported and rendering card



* VIDEO CARD RADEON 9600 PRO 256 MB V/D/VO R96-HD3


I have this card, and it works great with flavio's howto. I am running
debian pure 64, and unfortunately have not yet upgraded to the newest ATI
drivers (Lack of time). Dual monitor setup works on this card in linux too,
there are some bugs with it though as the ATI drivers do not perform the
same as xinerama does. For instance you can only display video on one
monitor at a time, when you maximize windows they fill both monitors, full
screen aps such as screen savers will only fill the main monitor, etc. After
a little while using the dual monitor set up, I got used to it not doing the
things that xinerama did, and it doesn't really bother me much now.
Unfortunately I cannot tell you much about the TV out on this card, as I
have not used that in linux yet.
