Linux supports all standard Hercules, CGA, EGA, VGA, IBM monochrome,
|
|
and Super VGA video cards
|
|
and monitors for the default text-based interface. In general, if the
|
|
video card and monitor coupling works under another operating system such
|
|
as MS-DOS, it should work fine with Linux. Original IBM CGA cards
|
|
suffer from ``snow'' under Linux, which is not pleasant to use.
|
|
<P>
|
|
Graphical environments such as the X Window System have video hardware
|
|
requirements of their own. Instead of listing these requirements here, we
|
|
relegate the discussion to Section <A HREF="node199.html#secxwindowsreqs">5.1.1</A>. In short,
|
|
to run the X Window System on your Linux machine, you will need one of
|
|
the video cards listed in that section.
