The bad news is ATI and nVidia are not fully natively supported in XWindows in most circumstances without the proprietary drivers. There are repos that support these two and work is being done for native support... but, alas it is SLOW in coming. Tips: If you choose either of these, only do so with the intent to CAREFULLY update kernels and drivers. Don't try updating the kernel if there is no driver update available, you may regret this decision. Next, try getting an older model ATI or nVidia card, support is easier for the older models than the newer ones. Linux is also a bit slow at getting newer cards supported natively, without going to proprietary drivers. James
