Okay I don't play a lot of 3D games. Don't really pay that much
attention to the different cards etc... But I want to be able to use the
XGL eye candy for Suse 10.1 and if I can figure out how to turn it on
aiglx. My currently ATI All in Wonder 8500DV (I think) Won't work so I'm
in search of a new card. Amazon has a eVGA Nvida e-GeForce FX 5500 for
about $60.00 which is less than I thought I'd have to pay but great if I
can get one for that price. But I can't seem to find a list for either
FC5 or SLED 10.1 that says if this card will work or not. Also other
than the fact that I know the ATI AIW card isn't supported by xgl I have
no idea if the nVidia card is any better than the card I already have.
So if someone can nod and say yeah I *know* that card is supported. Or
can point me to a primer where I can learn if it will work or not I've
be very grateful.

(btw the plan is to use FC5 and Xen to install SLED 10.1 - when it comes
out - as a guest OS) -
