Even matrox has better support than ati under linux.
Now i finally phased out ati and went with nvidia and the experience is so much smoother its not even funny.  |
Strange that you have been having issues. I have none of your described problems. Been running various ATI cards on Linux for years (And I have NVidia cards too that I have run, but haven't bought a new NVidia card in probably 3 to 4 years though). Yes, I use the proprietary driver versions, but they work find for me. No crashing, no nothing. 3D works perfectly.
THen again, I always run Gentoo which is specifically tailored / compiled to my systems instead of being open generic installs, so that might have something to do with it.
