Hi, all. Having read the various FAQs without much joy, I pose the following
question:
Can anyone give comparitave estimates of the various SVGA cards available.
I am interested in knowing whether I am better off buying a plain S3 card,
an S3 card with local bus or an ET4000 card with local bus?
I also note in the XS3 FAQ that mention is made of XFree86 support for S3
cards, but that they run slow (ie. Trident 9600). Will this change in the
future?
Also, the FAQ says that XS3 supports maximum 1024*768 resolution. Will this
be changed to, say, 1152*900?
Basically, I'm looking for the fastest card for X with 1152*900 resolution.
Money is not, um, a major consideration.
Email response is fine. I'll post anything interesting and try to get it in
the FAQ.
Regards,
Richard Gooch....
