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.
