The best support is for ATI radeon, but only older hardware is supported ( 8500/9100/9200 ). And it is lower performance than other propietary drivers. And is has display bugs. And stability bugs. And it is missing functionality, like compressed textures. And this the best that there is. It is much worse with other gfx chips. The only alternative are proprietary drivers from ATI , nVidia , Xi Graphics etc. And Luis, ATI does have linux drivers : http://ati.com/support/driver.html > > > > WiFi is not well supported either and many companies are demanding > > it.
