I commented on this before but I'm not absolutely sure it went through
due to some recent bind changes on my server... so if you are getting
this twice I appologize:

nVidia is one of the first companies I've seen to directly support
OpenGL / DRI acceleration with custom kernel modules downloadible from
their site (rpm, t*.gz, deb) with well written how-to's on getting them
installed and editing your XF86Config-4 to optimize your usage.
I myself use a GeForce3 TI-500 (64M DDR on AGP) which I highly recommend
to anyone.

With any distro supporting rpm, you get the source package and do a
rpm --rebuild and built it to your current kernel which I find very
friendly after spending days building custom kernels for new boxes.
Now, I do have a Radeon card in my box at work, which has some openGL
support. Do any of you know of a good place to start looking for kernel
modules/ drivers for it?
