Get an ATI card that is a little older and use the OSS driver, it works very well. A few years back I had an r300 card and it was wonderful. Nowadays, the latest 2d driver works on everything except r800 (5xxx series), and 3d works up to r500 (x1000 series) (r600/r700 3d has some support, r800 has none yet, although it is similar to the previous two, so it shouldn't be hard to do). > Both, ATI and Nvidia are quite the same: they do not provide a complete > access to their hardware specifications and just provide closed source > drivers. ATI provides complete access to the hardware specs, Nvidia provides no access at all.
