I have a geXcube Radeon 7000 which I bought a couple of months ago for
almost nothing. Nobody wanted such an "old" card, thus it was so cheap.
I replaced my Matrox G400 DH with this Radeon 7000 so that my brother
can run OpenGL games on M$.
As my PC is an "old" Slot1 PIII, and I am not much interested in new
games and only run FreeBSD, I was looking for a card that still works
with my motherboard, has good X support under FreeBSD and has both DVI
and SUB-D VGA connector.

Here is what I have (although the box looks different):
Radeon 7000

You may also want to check out the Radeon 9200, which is a bit more
modern, but AFAIK it still has a full 2D/3D driver support under X.

I also have another Radeon 7000 which came with 32MB or memory, that one
is in my father's PC. That is from a different manufacturer, but I don't
remember which one. I will have to have a look at my father's machine to
be able to tell that.
So what I am saying is that there are other manufacturers with these
Radeon 7000 or Radeon 9200 DVI cards. They are relatively cheap nowadays.

Now, about 1600x1200 DVI. AFAIK the card I have can do this, BUT ...
I have never tried it. I am planning to buy a 19" LCD, but still trying
to select the make and model to go for. So far I only used my old NEC
19" CRT. That works fine with this card under 1600x1200, but that is not
DVI.

Still I hope this helps a bit!
