Nvidia and ATI cards require you run the BIOS firmware to boot them. XFree86 can do that for the ATI at least. If you just need to ram something into a box so you can see what is going up I'd suggest getting an old voodoo1/voodoo2 off ebay. They report as multimedia devices and the current kernel fb driver can bootstrap them from cold on little or big endian systems with no bios support (tested on parisc, x86 etc) Not bad for <$10 a card although nobody has made Glide work big endian so you can do 3D yet 8) Alan
