www.ati.com - they make there own linux drivers for SOME cards
http://dri.sourceforge.net - They make a 3d accelerator driver for most radeon cards

www.nvidia.com - encase anyone needs nvidia drivers and sees this forum. the nvidia stuff is awesome and available on there site (READ IT"S DIRECTIONS)
