[Tfug] video card recommendations

Good luck,
         I am unfamiliar with this. With xorg-x11/xorg-server there is a 
tendency  to put support for
legacy hardware on a back burner. This all started happening when xorg 
became modular.
         I've had some success with  an old box with a ATI r128 chip. 
Radeon 128 was supposed
to be the coolest thing for the video game crowd with in its heyday with 
DRI.
         I couldn't get DRI to work with any combination of modules from 
the kernel or
xorg-server. At least that what glixinfo tells me when I test with it. 
However, it sure looks
like it's working. All those annoying Adobe Flash-mediated ads run real 
quick and smooth
in my browser with very little processor burden. Noatun runs Quicktime  
videos with the
same efficiency.
