Avoid ATI video cards.  I speak from experience (I'm still fighting with
mine).  Nvidia appears to have made a real effort to make their drivers work
under Linux.

ATI has press releases going back to year 2000 exclaiming Linux support, but
it's still really buggy, frustrating, lacking features, etc.  Do a search
for ATI "Blue tint" and "smurf color" and "XvMC" and "libc crash" etc.

Subject: [mythtv-users] Videocard recommendations

Hello,

can someone please recommend a videocard for use under Linux (Fedora Core
7). I need a videocard where the TV-Out is supported and can transmit
signals to my TV. What has the videocard else have to be able to? I think a
cheap one should be enough?

What I want to do is watch DVDs/Videofiles and TV (DVB-T) over mythTV on my
TV.

Thanks in advance.
Regards
Hans
