ATI has really improved their open source image in tha past year. I
would actually put them above Intel now. Intel has better FOSS
drivers, but the fglrx drivers from ATI are very decent now, and there
are open source ATI drivers that will soon rival the FOSS Intel ones.
As it stands, for 2D Intel is freer, for 3D ATI is top dog.
