Graphics card for Dell T105/Ubuntu machine?
Wow, I really had to dig to find out what kind of graphic card you have. I mean, like, really DIG. This is what it claims you have: An integrated ATI ES1000 2D graphics controller with 16 MB of graphics memory. Maximum resolution is 1600×1200 with 65,536 colors; true-color graphics are supported in the following resolutions: 640 x 480, 800 x 600, 1024 x 768, and 1280 x 1024. ATI support under Linux is atrocious. It’s finally starting to get a little better, as ATI has finally released documentation, but it’s got a long way to go. The chips that are easiest to support are the Intel motherboard chips… they’re slow, but Intel themselves provide drivers, so they work really well. As long as you don’t need to game, that’s the best choice. Unfortunately, that’s not what you have, and you can’t get Intel graphic cards; it has to be on the motherboard. NVidia’s really your only other option. Their drivers aren’t open-source, but they work very well. Pretty much any NVidia card should work ok
