+ nvidia card ( TNT/TNT2/GF/GF2/GF3 ) : to have 3D ( the best 3D support )
and Xv extensions you just need to install the drivers from nvidia site. Very
easy.
+ Matrox : the same + optimisation pour multimedia
+ ATI : the same
nvidia doc : http://www.nvidia.com/us/nn/pg000014.htm ,

a review of 3D under Linux :

DRI site : http://dri.sourceforge.net/status.phtml
just for information, mga_drv is here :
[root@bastard root]# urpmf mga_drv.o
XFree86-server:/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/mga_drv.o
DRI ( i.e 3D ) for ATI, matrox is available :
[root@bastard root]# ls /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri/
gamma_dri.so* i810_dri.so* mga_dri.so* r128_dri.so* radeon_dri.so*
sis_dri.so
gatos is available.
As it is not the purpose of this ML, I think that you should finally have a
look here : http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/hardware.php3
I CC to cooker ML just for information and maybe correction ( I only use
nvidia card and I will be please to find doc/howto for ATI/matrix in order to
write one )
