Is any ALUGger successfully using ATI radeon cards with real 3d acceleration these days?
IMO you're better off with a NVidia card since at least the drivers are made by NVidia themselves and offer equal performance to their Windows counterparts.
OK, the NVidia drivers are closed-source which may offend some, but they work and work well.
The ATI drivers that are available are a bit hit-or-miss as far as I can tell. They work well with some cards, and not so well with others. You'll need to investigate which cards are supported and which features of those cards are supported as well.
I haven't been able to get acceleration going on my IBM Thinkpad R51 (ATI Mobillity Radeon), yet the NVidia drivers work flawlessly on my desktop system (NVidia GeForce 5900). YMMV
