but they are if you want to play games.... so you have a problematic choice if games are what floats your boat.
Pick a different vendor.
You can buy a GFX card that has open specs and 3d support in Linux, but you can't play Unreal tournament 2003 (Nvidia are the only people who support the necessary 3d extensions atm, ATI have said possibly/maybe (which imho means never) but it isn't here yet) [...]
Aren't the ATI drivers open? Then it's not just ATI's choice. You can help make it happen, please. You can contribute to their coding (practially or financially), help test or document them, support them by buying their supported hardware, etc.
Then again, is the unreal code open anyway?
