Video Cards

ATI, Nvidia, Intel, Matrox, or even those of you using Voodoo graphics cards are going to have either some issues or no issues at all. A majority of these cards may not offer rendering support without the use of what is known as a binary or restricted driver. ATI and Nvidia both require binary drivers for accelerated rendering support. Integrated Intel cards, when paired with a wide screen display normally need an extra utility in order to achieve proper resolutions and refresh rates. These options will be explained further in the following subsections.
