Folks:
Having developed high blood pressure due to the incredible time waste involved in trying to get anything other than lowest-common-denominator video running on linux... I thought I'd ask you all for recommendations that you know *do* work.
So I'm looking for some combination of video card, drivers/libraries and linux distribution that can be installed and configured in time guaranteed to be less than infinite...
1. Must support dual monitors (ie: for 2560 x 1024 desktop).
2. Vid card must have some features that make 3D operations speedy.
3. Must have actual non-buggy drivers that allow FreeSurfer to drive the vid card's 3D features.
4. All should be relatively recent so that they don't preclude getting other things running due to being obsolete.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Graham
