I once bought a Matrox G550 because of its linux compatible 3D 
acceleration. It wasn't the fastest Graphics card ever, but worked 
satisfactory with a binary driver fpor xfree86 provided by the 
manufacturer. Unfortunately, Matrox failed to accommodate their driver to 
xorg and didn't disclose enough details to let open source projects do 
the coding. After hours of frustrating trials and even screen freeze due 
to bugs in an back engineered accelerated driver I gave up, sold the card 
and switched to nvidia ever since.
