Unraid & Nvidia Quadro NVS GPUs compatiblity?

I was wondering if Unraid, has some kind of  support for Quadro NVS GPUs

The one in question is this: NVS 315

It has been a while since I tested with this card, but back then, a year before, I remember trying to boot with this card in GUI mode

& saw some possibly resolution related issues.

I replaced it with a Radeon R9 290X, and all was ok out of the box,

but then now, I want to go with the less power hungry NVS card again.

 

Wondering if anybody had any similar observations.🙂

I always think of unRaid's built-in local GUI as an emergency access to the UI, and hence have never particularly cared about it's resolution / what not when it's on it.

 

The primary method of accessing the GUI is through a browser running on another system or via a VM

My situation is such that I would like to have access to the console, irrespective of the status of the network, & my mobo/cpu does not have integrated graphics.

Add to the fact that I would like to save power, with whatever hardware I have.

 

Is there some way to know the list of GPUs, supported by Unraid's kernel & default drivers ?

I mean, that it at least provides some kind of  2D acceleration for window managers ?

I can't give you an exact answer but the GUI works fine on all the integrated GPUs (AMD and Intel) and low end graphics cards I've ever tried.

 

One server currently has this in a PCI slot (to avoid wasting a precious PCIe slot):

[10de:0185]	03:05.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation NV18 [GeForce4 MX 4000] (rev c1)

and I've used PCIe Radeon HD 5450 and GeForce GT 210 cards successfully. They are inexpensive, small, passively cooled and don't use much power.
