TNT. Wouldn't even stop to think about it.
Rage Fury support is nowhere to be seen in XFree86 and patchy even in
the commercial Accelerated X server (not all models supported - roll the
dice, take your chances). Banshee support is available as an add-on to
XFree86 and I believe it's recently gone open source. However some
people seem to have difficulty using the Banshee to it's fullest -
getting all the resolutions & colour depths to work.
TNT works perfectly. But you do need the latest version of XFree86 -
3.3.3.1, as supplied with RedHat 6.0 and there are updates for previous
RedHat releases.
