Subject: [gentoo-user] graphic card driver status

Hi list!

I'm thinking about upgrading my parent's PC's graphic card because I
have driver issues with their old Nvidia GF-2 MX which prevent me of
using the closed source driver.

Now I want to ask: What's the status of the ATI drivers? Does the free
driver support 3D-acceleration on newer cards? Is the closed source
driver still such a pain to setup? How about VIA or Matrox?

I'd buy an Intel but I don't think they produce AGP- or PCI-cards, do
they?

Thanks in advance!

Florian Philipp
