I've been following both linux and 386bsd/bsd386 for several months.
I'm at the hardware buying stage.  I've checked the FAQ's in both
groups/ftp sites.  Maybe, I've missed something.  How about a list
of graphics cards (or a pointer to a list) which can be used to
run X386?  I know I need a card with Tseng ET-4000 chips but what
cards are those?  I'm looking at the price listing from clari.streetprice
for graphics cards (it is 10 pages long. prices from $29 ->$529).  Please
give some advice so I can make an informed product/price choice.  Thanks
