Re: [PLUG] OT - Looking for video card

[Paul <paul@dpagin.net>]

Try checking pricewatch.com for older model video cards.  They can be 
pretty inexpensive.  You could easily find something for $25.00.

I have a PCI Diamond Stealth III S540 with 32MB of RAM which runs well 
under Red Hat 7.2, except that it locks up when a particular screen 
saver comes on.  The reason why I have it is because it was constantly 
causing my father's Win98SE PC to freeze.  It worked fine with the 
generic VGA driver, but when I installed an S3, Diamond, or nVIDIA 
driver, it would start to freeze again.  Strange and beautiful how it 
works under Linux.

Because of the unexplained behaviour I wouldn't offer to sell it, but I 
might except an offer to buy it.
