Video Cards on linux

[Juan Kawada]

So the proprietary drivers for the 8x and 9x series are terrible? and how
about the open source drivers with the system? It looks like dana got a 8600
working fine.
Dana did it take any tweaking, or did it install fine?

It looks like ATI drivers are beating nvidia drivers now, thats what i've
heard anyway.

Is there a website out there that lists the details of what cards work with
what distro, and if effects work etc. based on user experience?

I've also heard that intel chips are working great with linux now because of
open source drivers. I'm not sure if thats true though, as I learned it from
an unreliable source.
