[olug] FC4 and Matrox Drivers

[Jesse Regier]

It looks like FC4 has major issues with the matrox video drivers and it
gets pretty ugly with my G550.  So It looks like I'm in the market for a
new video card.  It wouldn't drive my Samsung 910t LCD monitor at the
full resolution in digital mode anyway.  

So what are people out there using?  I don't need high end 3D
acceleration for games and such.  I just need a decently fast card that
can do DVI out at 1280x1024.  I've always stayed away from the Nvidia
cards because of the whole binary driver issue.  

Any suggestions?

Another interesting thing I noticed is that they are advertising that
FC4 has OpenOffice 2.0 but he rpms in FC4 are 1.9 something.  Must be
rounding up a development release or something.
