RE: [LUG] RE: NVIDIA driver installation after kernel update

["Julian Hall" <linux@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Lee,

I've previously had a WinTV and loved it (not sure WHY I went the integrated
card route this time :/).  Anyway, my Mobo is an MSI Nvidia2 board.  For the
graphics card, would you suggest an MSI card or Nvidia for greater
compatibility?  Looking at your previous mail I'd guess not the Nvidia?  I
know Nvidia's Unified Driver is supposed to work for everything.  How easy
is that for a newbie to work with?

I'm looking at the 5600 range of card.. seems a good balance between
performance and price.  I'd like one without TV though as I'll be getting
the WinTV for that function.

Kind regards,

Julian

I be mostly be watching TV with a Hauppauge WinTV express, the WinTV cards
by
Hauppauge are well supported in most distros due to the use of the Brooktree
Bt848 chipset.
Worked out of the box in Sooze 8.2/9.0 and Fed Core1.

Cheers,
Lee
