I'm looking for a graphics card that will work out of the box with mandrake 9.1. In otherwords, I don't want to download some binary driver, or rebuild X, or do some weird kernel hack....

The cards I've been looking at are these:
ATI Radeon VE VGA and DVI
ATI FIRE GL X1 1-2 VGA and DVI
nVidia QuadroFX 500 VGA and DVI
nVidia QuadroFX 1000 VGA and DVI
nVidia Quadro NVS 280 VGA and DVI

The card will be driving a 20" flatpanel UltraSharp 2000FP from Dell.

I don't really have a problem with hacking the XF86Config-4 file, but I don't like having to hack in external drivers... Do any of these cards have opensource/xfree drivers that ship with mandrake that are "good enough" ?

BTW, They do not need todo fancy 3D/OpenGL, all the apps will be basic 2D stuff...
