Note: This page is not an exhaustive list. Also, some video cards may work with free software, but without 3D acceleration. This information should be considered very tentative -- we are doing our best to update it.

free3d.org has more information about video cards with 3D acceleration that work with free software.

Intel Cards

Here's a list of the currently shipping graphics and memory controller hubs supported by free software:

• Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950 (Intel 945G)
• Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 900 (Intel 915G and 910G)
• Intel 865G
• Intel Graphics Media Accelerator X3000 (Intel G965 Express Chipset) works beautifully in 3D with the free i810 X driver.

Some of these come in multiple packaging variants that append additional letters to the chipset name. Intel also builds northbridge chips without the graphics controller for servers and higher performance desktop systems. Look for the 'G' in the chipset number, or Graphics Media Accelerator in the family name.

Here are Intel's previous generations of graphics and memory controller hubs supported by free software:

• Intel 855GM
• Intel 852GM
• Intel 845G
