HardwareSupport/Components/VideoCards

Video Cards

Note: Most nVidia-cards will work if you just install the nvidia-glx package, and modify /etc/X11/xorg.conf, to use "nvidia" instead of "nv"

Note: For most 3D requirements the system will work, but slowly unless you install the binary driver for your video card. See the BinaryDriverHowto for information on how to install binary drivers for your video card. This is true for at least ATI, NVIDIA and 3DLabs cards.

Note: Some video chipsets have buggy VGA BIOS implementations; they may render text consoles incorrectly, especially when connected to flat-screen displays (including laptop LCDs). Depending on your localization, you may be able to work around this at the LiveCD boot prompt by typing "live debian-installer/framebuffer=false".

if X server does not start with driver "ati" (first boot) change it to "vesa" and then follow the instructions on BinaryDriverHowto. On some manufacturer's cards (I think Abit, a red card) openGL doesn't work, gdb says crash happens in the driver
