[lug] Video card recommendations

[James Borley]

I have a Matrox G400, it does NTSC out.  They are great cards if you can
find one.  There are several different linux drivers available, including
ones from Matrox.  It's not the fastest 3D card by any means, but the 2D,
TV-Out, and Dual Head features are outstanding.  I think the G450 does
DVI, and the G400 will do it with a daughter card.

Apparently Matrox released new beta drivers yesterday:

how's that for support ;-)
