I believe this is only an issue with ATI/Radeon. Nvidia works just fine.
The open source ATI/Radeon drivers work pretty well, I have noticed. Even  
3d worked great, when trying on a friends machine. The only problem was  
overheating, which was a pretty serious issue. As for those cards in  
general, I have very little knowledge. I was unable to get any drivers  
working flawlessly, anyway.
