Re: best video card for bsds

I've always had an nvidia card with my bsd, I use the 'nv' driver and not
nvidia's driver as it is experimental and without updates.  I generally
leave my display running and swap in and out of text mode without any
problems.  I've never had a crash because of video except when using
nvidia's own driver, which is simple to fix, telnet in, find the .X0-lock
file, cat it, kill the pid.
