I wish Radeon cards work the best with XFree86. > </opinion> But evil NVidia has far better Linux support - only thing is their drivers are closed source. So, unless you don't wanna hack around in the drivers, NVidia is the better choice. I hate to say that since I like ATI cards better tho ATI is hardly capable of coding proper Windoze drivers, let alone Linux and since I dislike NVidia's price policy. For now: upgrade X to 4.2.0, the advice I give to all Radeon users. Previous version were a hassle due to many different chip revisions of Radeon boards. Dex
