Well the nv driver in XFree86 supports many nvidia cards, but only with
2D, which of course doesn't mean it doesn't work, just no 3D support.
I think the newest 3D card with open source drivers for it might be the
radeon 9200. All newer radeon cards I believe require the ati binary
drives, and even then many of the cards are not supported by those
drivers either (good luck with any new ati mobile chip).
