[a bit off topic] Video Cards and XFree86



Hi,
I know it is a bit off topic,
but I need your advice.

I have baught a computer and the videocard is not compatible with xfree.
(S3 Trio3D 4Mb)
I have asked them to replace it and they replaced it with another non
supported card. (Trident 9something, i dont have it here, 4Mb)

They asked me what card is supported,
and I have no idea which good cards are supported.
I know xfree86.org has a list,
but I dont know which card is good, and if it is still sold, etc.
it should be something close to the price range of these cards. (but
supported)

<rant>

btw,
dont buy computers from Excellnet,
they have promised me that the computer will work fine with Linux and
xfree,
and shipped it with a PnP modem, unsupported videocard,
harddrive that for some reason cannot boot lilo (just the windows mbr, i
checked).
4 monthes and 4 "repairments" since then it still doesnt work.
(and they wont let me give it back to them for a refund)

</rant>

thanks,
Yoni.
