'm no fan of NVIDIA as they have not been good to GNU/Linux users. They cause
all sorts of trouble. The reason older cards have support with the free
driver is because of reverse engineering. The 9500GT is the best supported
card using the free driver. It's good enough to get into the mainline kernel.
That is impressive.,

The only graphics I'd recommend is Intel. They do a good job of supporting
free software (graphics chipsets ONLY and only ones developed in house).,

AMD does a horrible job in the graphics department. You might say it was
better than NVIDIA which offered no support, source code, or specifications
although AMD doesn't provide enough information for any support on free
systems either. It's all but worthless as far as I'm concerned. Camouflage
for there proprietary garbage.
