If only this were true. Try and find a good driver for one of the more recent ATI cards, such as the x1600, and you will be out of luck. The radon driver does not work at all and the latest ATI binary driver is still broken for xv leaving the card useless for MythTV. Strangly, support for old ATI cards is reasonable, but if you are thinking of running Linux with a new ATI card then expect problems.
