Another thread I missed! Better late than never! :)
I've been very happy with ATI and the open source radeon driver for it
lately. Just note that if you get a card built on the CAICOS chipset
that kernel mode setting is REQUIRED for X to work, and for some
distributions you'll have to update some components. Gentoo works GREAT
with the CAICOS chipset, as would Ubuntu 11.04 if they had a new enough
Mesa...
