Strictly I was use the VGA adapter only, but like I mentioned in a previous
email, these are the only options available, it basically boils down to ATI vs
Nvidia.

I to am a little frustrated with the Chrome Pro. I works great in my non-X
OpenBSD setup, but I can't update my Linux box via an X interface.

I'll have to investigate (the Chrome issue) this some more.
