I'm having trouble finding a decent video card that is supported by the drivers 
in SL 5.  The Xorg in that system is getting rather long in the tooth, many 
newer cards don't work properly, and I want to avoid proprietary add-on 
drivers. I don't need high performance, but I want to reliably drive a 
1920x1200 monitor.  I've been using cards based on the ATI X1050 platform, but 
those are no longer available.

thanks,
