I am not too sure about ati - I know that nvidia works well with linux in general and have a good opengl support.
I am also building myself a desktop (yet portable) computer - with a small size factor - I bought http://www.zotacusa.com/zotac-geforce-gf9300-g-e-itx-wifi-lga-775-mini-itx-intel-motherboard.html that has an integrated gpu - with also an extra slot if later I need more power. This little beast will be mounted with a 2.6ghz quad core (probably overclocked to 3ghz) with 4gb ram (can host up to 8gb ram). I've read good review about the zotac and linux compatibility, and I should receive the board shortly so I'll let people know about puredyne on it. just some idea for your next machine.
