I was just wondering if anyone had any success using PCI-X/PCI-Express
cards under linux. I was looking through the kernel and don't see any
specific settings strictly for PCI-X bus. I wonder if they *just work*
with PCI support enabled, as AGP does.
I'm specifically interested if anyone has got hardware 3D acceleration
working with a PCI-X video card. I'm looking at getting a mid-range NVidia
card, since their drivers are at least useable under linux, compared to
the atrocious performance and glitches the ATI proprietary drivers have
(and the open drivers being worked on are not overly worried with the card
I have, and the R300 driver doesn't have any sort of 3D acceleration right
now).
As far as I can understand from the docs on nvidia's website, it seems
like it'll just work, but was interested if anyone had any success. In
particular I'm looking at the nvidia 6600gt series. Any input would be
much appreciated. Thanks.
