Do any of you know what the current state of Linux graphics support is from ATI and NVIDIA? From my own personal experience, I'd say that NVIDIA's Linux drivers subjectively rate somewhere between "OK" and "good", but I am not sure how they compare performance-wise to the windows drivers. I know there have been some comparisons on www.phoronix.com but sometimes its not clear if Linux support is improving or not. As for ATI graphics, I had heard ages ago that ATI was sponsoring some open source drivers, but they seemed to be competing with another open source drivers effort? Also, have their open source drivers reached parity with their windows drivers? Or have they at least reached parity with their fglrx drivers? Also, if anyone here using ATI cards could tell me if installing their fglrx drivers has gotten any easier, I'd appreciate it. I remember spending HOURS with Linux_0 trying to get the damn things to work, but that was years ago so I'd hope that things have improved by now.
Thanks.
