Adding a VGA card to IPFire box

Hi all, this is related to a previous post I made recently.
Can anyone perhaps point me to where I can see a list of supported VGA cards in IPFire? I did try searching in the IPFire Documentation however I had no luck finding anything.
Thanking you.

As long as the card supports the base VGA capability (640x480) then I would expect that it should/will work.

I can’t imagine any VGA card not being able to support that basic capability and I would expect that the higher resolutions should also work without any issue.

As you will be using this for the console access then I can’t imagine any card that says it supports VGA having a problem.

All VGA cards should work if the BIOS has initialised it correctly.
With core196 we also add drm support but this should not change the basic support via simpledrm.

@bonnietwin @arne_f thank you both for your replies. I will be installing a simple VGA card (with HDMI support) on the weekend.
