Hello ALE folks,

I need advice (please don't begin any holy wars over this question).

I am trying to find a video card that is capable, under Linux to run 
at least 1024x768 at 24bpp.  I thought that I had found said card in 
the Diamond Stealth 3D 2000 w/4MB DRAM, but the XFree86 server will 
not push this resolution and color depth because of dot clock 
limitations.  I have upgraded to XFree86 3.2 for the S3_ViRGE chip on 
the card but it seems that my problem is not related to either RAM or 
chipset.  Any takers on a reasonably priced video card with these 
capabilities?

Thanks in advance!

Dan
