Don't be fooled by ATI's open source support. I'm sure I am not the only one who regrets getting an ATI card. Personally, I don't have a problem running NVIDIA proprietary blob - unlike ATI, Nvidia works well for me.

I haven't checked it for a few months now, but there have been some problems with flgrx drivers. On a box with an ATI card I use radeonhd.

Nvidia...

Nvidia still has the best driver support for linux.
