Re: ATI vs. NVIDIA
jdodson: For the r2xx series (up to 9250), there is 3D acceleration through DRI for whatever platform you can put a Radeon in and run Xorg on; this includes powerpc, ia64, hppa, hurd-i386 if you want ... whatever. From a driver point of view, the open source radeon drivers wipe the floor with nv, not only because they have acceleration for some chipsets, but because it's actually readable, and when a bug crops up in them, I can say something other than 'hassle nVidia'.
Daniel, going back to hunt a bug deep down in i810, thanks to the actual open source driver
