The nVIDIA GForce2mx card in my studio machine is on its way out (weird
streaks across the screen) and I'm temporarily using the sub-par
onboard video do work.
I'd appreciate it if some folks would email me off-list with their
feelings about inexpensive (under $100 US) video cards that run well
under Linux. Thanks!

Matrox G400 is the way to go. You can get them dirt cheap off of Ebay,
they have really awesome driver support for XFree86, and it's even
available in a dual head model. The 2D performance is wicked fast, and
it has passable 3D.

I'm using a low end Radeon board which I paid about $60 for at
http://www.newegg.com . It's worked very well for me. xine runs nicely
with this card when I play DVDs. Watched the Bourne Identity last night
while I tried to set up my new 002 Rack. (See, back onto music.) ;-) So
do the RME tools. I don't need much more in terms of graphics under
Linux.

http://www.crucial.com has two cards under $100 based on the Radeon
9200. They probably work very well.
Choosing nVidia vs. ATI is (to me) really a choice of which way you want
to deal with the drivers. I prefer ATI really, but use nVidia also.
