Does anyone have a pointer?

The Radeon 9200 series is the strongest dedicated card currently supported by Free drivers. The Intel integrated GMA900/950 stuff also uses Free drivers, if your motherboard has this (though the mode-setting stuff is through the video BIOS, as I understand it); and it has performance equivalent to a Radeon 9500-ish according to various X hackers whom I've spoken with.

These are not very powerful compared to the stuff currently on the market, but they work very well. I've got a Radeon 9200 on mine and it works beautifully. :)
