I found ATI to be the best supported cards in X (for open source drivers
that is). I have ATI Radeon 64M DDR and I have great 3D performance. Better
than under Windows 2000 and onward. At work, I have 2 Debian workstations
with older ATI cards. One is Winboard and the other Rage 64 or something.
Both work great but no 3D accel. of course :)
A friend of mine has NVideo GeForce 2 MX card and it seems to run fine with
NVidia's drivers. But the performance is a bit slower than with Radeon. But
NVidia seems to be a good choice for.
As for people complaining that Radeon development is Linux is halted, looat at
