Hello,
I am trying to figure out what graphics cards I should be purchasing for my application. My application requires 3 video outputs (VGA, but I can do with DVI/HDMI with a VGA-DVI/HDMI adapters). The system needs to be Linux compatible.
I have been searching newegg, amazon and I can see that the chipsets (nVidia or ATI) is linux compatible, but when I search for the drivers in the respective vendor websites, I do not see any Linux compatible drivers. For instance, for the EVGA graphics card listed here: (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130826), the chipset is GE Force GTX 600). When I go to the EVGA website, (http://www.evga.com/support/download/) with their listed drivers, I do not see any linux compatible drivers. However, for Linux, there are compatible drivers, as listed here: http://www.geforce.com/drivers/results/51453
Hence, my question is, how to go about searching for linux compatible drivers ? How do I be sure that the graphics card I am purchasing will work with Linux ? Is this graphics card compatible with Linux ?
I apologize if this question sounds silly, but I haven't used systems with Linux before, hence my knowledge is somewhat limited.
Thanks much!
