After trying NVidia, ATI and on-board Intel recently, I'd agree with Thadeu that Intel is the easiest to get running with purely open-source drivers. I run an NVidia 8600GT now for dual-monitor support, but I wasn't able to get the output on the analog VGA port right (refresh rate problems on my LCD) without using the proprietary nvidia driver. I run the on-board ATI in a laptop, but I wasn't able to get wide-screen output without using ATI's binary driver. But of course the proprietary driver has it's own problems - it causes the laptop to lock up when going into sleep or hibernate.

The on-board Intel on my Asus MB just worked out of the box without having to fight anything.

my 2c,
Andre

Does anyone know of a graphics card which is definitely supported by Free drivers?
