Hi Dave,

I have found that the Matrox Millennium Card with 8 megs of ram is an
excellent choice.  It will produce up to 1600x1200 resolution.  Also
Matrox now supports Linux by releasing the specs for their hardware. 
Hope that this helps in your choice.

Others have had success with ATI cards.  The main point to consider is
the amount of ram on the card.  The more ram = greater color depth at a
higher resolution.
