Solved a problem the NVIDIA had with some Linux distros
I keep an old Dell XPS Gen 5 alive as a test platform for various Linux distributions. Over the years, I've run into a few that didn't play well with the stock NVIDIA GeForce 6800. It seems to be with distributions that started using the Wayland engine instead of X11. Screen tearing was so bad they could not be evaluated. The problem came down to the proprietary NVIDIA drivers not staying up to date on this old card, and the Linux Noveau driver inadequate for this relic. I noticed that there were numerous complaints about this screen tearing behavior only from NVIDIA users, and none from ATI. This AMD ATI Radeon HD 6540 solved the problems. No, it is not a gaming GPU, but for my purpose it rocks.
