Fortunately Nvidia and ATI both have excellent closed source drivers for Linux. However as a software developer, closed source is not for me or my box. ATI is the only viable option if you want to use open source drivers.
I agree, and I was looking at ATI for just
that reason - but your "performance isn't
great" comment was the telling point.
I'd really love to be using video cards
with GPL'd 3D drivers, but until we see
something in the same ballpark with the
nvidia gear and drivers, it's a tough sell.
Ouch!Nvidia does not seem to want to support the open source community.
I'd say nvidia have been bending over
backwards to support us, and they get
nothing but grief for it...
IMHO of course -
