Intel is providing decent drivers for their video chips from what I am 
reading.

Nvidia makes decent drivers which are easy to install using Livna.

ATI in my books just suck.  I fought and fought with ATI and their 
driver for a month.  Nvidia was up in minutes.

As for ATI drivers.  I have a friend in IT that won't allow ATI cards in 
any computer he purchases after fighting with ATI over their Windows 
drivers and issues.  So it isn't just ATI and Linux.
