something more:

if you want to have a fast 3d card under linux you need a nvidia card.


not because there aren't other fast 3d cards, but because they drivers
suck. ( ati ).

so face it: the only company that cares for linux 3d users, is nvidia.
and i'm not joking.

simply i want to say that nvidia drivers has MANY problems, but in some
areas they drivers are a lot better than the drivers for the other 3d
cards
