Intel

i855

Works perfectly with xf86-video-intel

915

Works perfectly with xf86-video-intel-2.0. Compositing works fine.

i945

Works flawlessly with xf86-video-intel-2.0 and xorg-server-1.3 (be sure to use intel as driver in xorg.conf, or do not use xorg.conf at all). Native resolution (1440x900) automatically detected by driver eliminating the need for 915resolution. Compiz-Fusion runs without a hitch, resuming from suspend/hibernate may cause the background not to render properly, but this is easily fixed by rotating the cube.

945GM

Works perfectly with xf86-video-intel-2.10. About 1800fps.

x3100/GM965

Works with xf86-video-intel-2.0.

NVIDIA

Fx 5550

Works with both i686 and x86_64 version with module nv/vesa and with the Nvidia driver(but this driver taints the kernel).

Fx 570M

Works perfectly with the nvidia driver, i just needed nvclock to dimm the display

Quadro FX 2700M

Works perfectly with the nvidia driver with one exception, the favorite 1680x1050 resolution isn't an option for some reason.

Quadro Nvs 110M

Works perfectly with module nv/vesa and with the Nvidia driver.
