Hi,
Could anyone point me out to a list of Graphic Cards that have free drivers and can run games like PlaneShift?

I know that Intel has a integrated Graphic card that uses free drivers and performs ok, but I haven't heard about any other....

Regards,
Felipe

Not sure if you mean free as in beer (gratis) or free as in speech (libre), but if you are looking to game on Linux, almost any nVidia-based card will work perfectly. nVidia provides excellent Linux drivers and the performance from even a low end nVidia card will be way better than any other brand (IMO).

Free/libre actually. Is there other alternatives to Nvidia, Ati or Intel? I already have a FX5200 that works ok, and I'm not going to buy a new one. I just wanted to know if there where alternatives and if those would be able to run PlaneShift....
