That's fine, I guess, but personally I will never buy Nvidia until they release open drivers and/or docs. To paraphrase RMS, "Don't buy from Nvidia, enemy of your Freedom" In any case, the drivers for Radeon are about as good, quality-wise, as Nvidia drivers nowadays. Of course there can still be individual problems with either one.

The Radeon drivers are easier to configure than the fglrx drivers, and fglrx is only available in Ubuntu if you install restricted drivers. Dominik, do any errors show up in /var/log/Xorg.0.log?
