Hi,

I get the impression that no video card makers are completely
Linux friendly; with some giving open source drives to some of 
their cards, others providing compiled binaries for some of their 
cards and others providing nothing.  So we can not say "get 
anything from brand XYZ".  Is this the case?

Is there much choice at all if you want something unusual like 
it has to be available in Australia, quiet, support Sync-On-Green 
and fit an AGP 4X 1.5V slot?
