Reply With QuoteNVidia drivers are pretty easy to set up.
Here is a howto for Debian.
I'm thinking of getting a new video card, eVGA 128-A8-NV96-LX Geforce MX4000 128MB DDR AGP 4X/8X Video Card, from www.newegg.com and wondering if it is easy to upgrade linux video drivers?
I will be coming from ATI generic to nvidia drivers using Debian Sid & Mepis.
If anybody have any comments about this card feel free to let me know, good or bad! I'm no big gamer either.
Thnx.

eVGA has been kind to me.
Thnx guys...I think I will go for it. I've been needing a new one for awhile now.
I had one of those, and they are okay. I'd go for a Radeon 9600, it costs the same and has DirectX 9 support.

Yes, and how is the linux support? Most ATI cards have crap support and perform as bad. ATI is a choice if you run Windows more than linux. It is not worth it if you run Linux exclusively or more than half the time.

I'm currently using an Radeon 7200 and not too satisfied with it. And nvidia are supported better with Linux more so than Ati. I'm not a gaming person either.
Countach44, does it show pretty bright when viewing movies? With my current card, videos and trailers are darker than they should be.
Thnx.
Have you toyed with the gamma settings fromn within your player? That may help a bit.
No I haven't but I guess I could give it a try. Thnx for the suggestion.
