3d my friend, 3d.  Not 2d.  2d drivers are still rock solid, and getting 
better with time.  3d is something that not a whole lot of people want to 
spend time on w/out compensation.  Just ask Mike Harris's opinion on that 
one.  Sure we'd all love to have full 3d support for all the latest greatest 
cards, and we all want OSS versions of that 3d support, but it takes a _lot_ 
of effort to get 3d drivers built and solid.  A lot of time too, and as the 
old saying goes, time is money.
