Oh, please...
The Radeon 9600 Pro doesn't have accelerated 3D performance under
Linux. Doesn't
*ALL* of NVIDIA's cards from the Riva TNT2 up to the Quadro FX
are supported under Linux just as well as under Windows, because
of the uniform driver. What other (non-mobo) h/w company can say
that it supports Linux just as well as Windows?
Yes, it's a binary driver, and I'm not happy about that, but I
can live with it...
(Now, I can't say the same for the nForce chipsets. I can live
with a binary video driver, since there's also an OSS driver,
but I can't live with a binary chipset/network driver. It's
too fundamental to the operation of the system...)
