c360 and graphics card recommendations.
I know the fx2 does not work. cos I read all about it. I have found out that the vis eg works but does it work with 24-bit colour and a 1280x1024 resalution. I was also wondering if a old nvidia card would work but have a fealing they need the x86 bios. OH this is of course to get x server running. thanx for any advice

No. The VisEG hardware can only support 8-bit color(at up to 1600x1200). It also has support for something called Color Recovery in order to get more colors but support for that has only been implemented in the HP-UX Xserver and will probably never be done for Linux.

There has been lots of discussion on the mailing list about using PC graphics cards. Please search the list archives.(this should probably be added to the faq too) Short answer: it is possible for some cards, but I don't know if nvidia is one of them.
