But IRC the discussion was about cheapo video cards.

But generally > speaking, Linux nVidia's Linux support is better than ATI. There are two ways of interpreting your statement. Does nVidia provide better support for its cards under Linux? Probably. But is nVidia better supported than ATI under Linux or free X in general? Debatable. The difference is like that between having a top-of-the-line Toyota Altis and a jeepney. There's no question that the Altis is better supported "officially". But there are more neighborhood mechanics that can service a broken jeepney than can a Toyota Altis. So, which is better supported?
