Hi!
That recommendation is quite harsh IMHO - although I prefer Nvidia over
Ati myself. With the latest release of stable drivers both Ati and
Nvidia fully support Xorg 6.8 including 3D DRI.
The reason why so many people literally hate Ati when it comes to Linux
is rather simple: their Linux driver support is - simply put - weak, on
the edge of not existing whereas Nvidia was rather friendly to the
community right from the start.
