Hey,<br>
<br>
I switched from ati to nvidia card just because nvidia has much better
support for linux. I changed to knoppmyth release and I did not
succeed to use 1280*720 resolution (that is native for my projector)
and I had to scale the image to 1280*768. With fedora I did not have
this problem or any problems with tv-out since I could use ati's own
drivers. TV-out is only working in ati's own drivers.<br>
<br>
Nvidia drivers can be compiled to any distribution. Also gentoo had some odd problem with ati-drivers.<br>
<br>
I would suggest nvidia card because of the better linux support.<br>
<br>
