Hi, Assuming I could ever get GPL running my Matrox Millennium G200 card, is the performance any good? If not I guess I'll bite the bullet and get a Hercules Thriller... Thanks, Kevin Caldwell Calgary, Canada
>Assuming I could ever get GPL running my Matrox Millennium G200 card, is the >performance any good? If not I guess I'll bite the bullet and get a Hercules >Thriller... The G200 driver is very beta. There are severe enough graphics glitches that I'm back to using my Voodoo 1. In particular, the driving line is clipped as though there were a cleanup crew a few car lengths ahead of you. I thought it was quite playable at 800x600. (I had to turn down a few things to get 36 fps.) It was too slow at 1024x768, way too slow at 1152x864, and 7 fps at 1280x1024. This is on a P2-333 at 412. -- spamgard(tm): To email me, put "geek" in your Subject line.

Thanks very much for the info Dave. Sounds like I need the Thriller card to have any hope with my 233 PII. Kevin Caldwell Calgary, Canada >The G200 driver is very beta.
