I'm running a Matrox Millenium 1024x768 and 800x600 at 32 bpp. It's supported
under 3.2 svga driver. Support was just added, but I'm pleased with it. I
think I payed about $220 for it with 4 meg memory.
}Hello ALE folks,
}
}I need advice (please don't begin any holy wars over this question).

}I am trying to find a video card that is capable, under Linux to run
}at least 1024x768 at 24bpp. I thought that I had found said card in
}the Diamond Stealth 3D 2000 w/4MB DRAM, but the XFree86 server will
}not push this resolution and color depth because of dot clock
}limitations. I have upgraded to XFree86 3.2 for the S3_ViRGE chip on
}the card but it seems that my problem is not related to either RAM or
}chipset. Any takers on a reasonably priced video card with these
}capabilities?

}Thanks in advance!
