The  article is very confusing. ATI and Nvidia are not  "two video  
cards". I guess they are 'most' video cards. And does 'the device is  
supported' mean that the default Ubuntu install will auto-detect it  
and do the right thing or does it mean that there is source code out  
there somewhere for those who know how  to compile and install it? it  
strikes me that there might be a long way between the driver project  
and and the common distros.
