Grumph. Ok, so if the 3dfx card is gonna be difficult, maybe I want
to get a new card. The 3500 runs too hot, and it's got this huge
cable that you have to connect the monitor to, plus a TV if you
want to display on a TV. On top of that, the TV and radio tuner
don't work in Linux. So I remember a very long thread regarding 3D
video cards under Linux, and which was best. What was the
resolution to that?

Big week ahead, folks. I'm travelling the country selling my tax cut by
explaining to average Americans why they'll be better off getting an
extra couple hundred bucks back in the mail next year in exchange for
years of massive government debt and double digit inflation.
