So far I've tried only nvidia chipsets and the firegl1 chipset. The firegl1 chipset driver crashes my machine with a sig11 (i should work on that one a little more maybe it will work), but the nvidia drivers are wonderful. I've used the nvidia drivers on SMP machines with geforce, quadro, and quadro 2 cards recently. I was surprised that the quadro 2 card worked since it wasn't documented in the faq. That's one hell of a badassed card. The cards are:
elsa synergy force (geforce, 32mb)
elsa gloria 2 (quadro, 64mb)
elsa gloria 2 pro (quadro2, 64mb)
all came packaged with the dell precision workstation 620s. am running suse 7.0 with xfree86 4.01. cant give you framerates w/ q3 or anything since we use them for sceintific visualization, but they're slighly faster than the indigo2s that we're using. Which says, to me, that sgi makes a kickass machine since the indigo2 is pretty old. i dont think you can go wrong at this point with the nvidia chipset, hopefully nvidia will continue in this tradition of kickass driver support in linux.
Ask old folks what the best part of their life has been. In my experience the answer is always "college". It's all downhill from here.
One shouldn't always have to look forward to find the strength to hack through the present. what if nothing's there?
ever consider the possibility that 'laughing your way to the bank' isn't what its all about? sure, maybe someday i'll be driving a porsche, but you'll always find 'the wall' in the CD, because that's all i can see, that's what my childhood (and public schools) taught me to see.
