Re: [TCLUG:5411] Display adapter?

[Nate Carlson <natecars@infiniteloop.com>]

Riva uses the SVGA server, and supports VMware. However, the Riva portion
of the SVGA server does not currently use the acceleration features of the
card.

I would personally recommend a Matrox G200 AGP. They are SWEET cards. They
do still use the SVGA server, but it flies.
