ideq 200v + FX5700 = no fan?

Any suggestion for a budget video card? I don't do a lot of gaming. I run Linux so would like to stay away from ATI. Is the 6200 series any good?

Viewsonic VX715: No DVI output, why?

Linux + TFT experienc?

Anybody here running Linux on a DVI TFT? Care to share your experience? Reason why I ask is that my new TFT (Viewsonice VX715) doesn't look too good under Linux. It is very good under Windows. But under linux the font rendering is really not that greate.
