3) On my box, software suspend (1 & 2) won't work when in X with nvidia
drivers. - of course i can kill X, but then i
can also shutdown the box
4) You can't use hw accellerated fb w/ nvidia drivers, u must use vseafb-tng
that u call "excellent linux support" ???
ok, i always buy nvidia cards ... because i need to play doom3 (and ut2004).
if you are sure u never want to play doom3 ... get some _elder_ matrox / Ati
they got good opensourced drivers for 2D support and basic OpenGL
support- usefull 4 Desktop.
The opensourced "nv" module for nvidia OTOH neither supports dualhead,
nor does it support xv
- the last i would call a basic feature - so this ain't either an option.
keep in mind Nvidia = best 3d performance u get, but u are stuck w/
their drivers.

Doom 3, right?

most cards
work with Fedora out of the box?
My Matrox Millennium G450 works great...
Many people don't consider having to use a binary only driver
"excellent".
i don't actually mind if the driver is binary or not, but see issues above.
