I'm putting together a new box that is going to have Fedora 7 (x86_64 if it matters) on it. The last remaining component I haven't made up my mind on is the video card. I don't need stellar 3D performance (a little hardware 3D acceleration would be nice though), but I'm very much concerned about stability. Having been bitten in the past by the proprietary NVidia drivers, this time I'm leaning towards the r300 series of ATI cards, as they are supported by OS drivers. (Actually, I'd prefer one of the r200 series of cards, but I haven't found one with a PCIe interface.) But since the r300 driver is based on reverse engineering, I'm not sure if this is a safe choice. Could someone who uses it tell about his/her experiences, especially stability-wise? Andras
Have you considered Intel? I believe they provide the only vendor supplied open drivers that support 3D.
