[Eug-lug] good (low-end) graphics card?

Well, the Intel 965 chipset in my Thinkpad can drive the monitor at
1680x1050 and higher, so I assumed that this was old hat for PCIe cards.

Right, no 3D gaming.  Streaming video is about the most graphics intensive
thing I can imagine doing on the monitor.

I have to say that I'd be happier in running a card that had a true Open 
Source driver, but I realize that might not be realistic at this point.
