Open your computer and take a look at your agp socket, search google for pics of the card you want.
Remove you existing card and take it to your local comp. store and compare. Purchase a card from somwhere with a good return policy.
(There is a lot of misinformation surrounding agp compability, i'm pretty sure any card will fit, and if it fits it will work.)
The drivers you are speaking of are included in the kernel and xfree86. Yes you could concivebly hammer dri.sourceforge.net cvs and see if ati marketing cares, I very much doubt it. Not only development differs between proprietary and open source, but also distribution. How many computers are running debian?
From a diffrent angle Lindows could argue it itself is a generic name (Lindows in swedish being the gramatic equivalent Lindow's), there are at least a few Lindow, living in Stockholm, and then use a variation of the marx brothers defence. I'd also like to add that this indeed has been covered in swedish mainstream media www.dn.se/ekonomi (in swedish ofcourse).
How will that problem arise with nanotech, specifically. Here's a challenge that ought to be several orders of magnitude easier to solve; Given the confinement of, let's say a milk carton (hardly nanotech needed to fit into that) make me a machine that with bricks, mortar and stone builds a scale replica of Versailles, it doesn't have to be exact on the microscopic level, eye view only. Seems kinda far off into the future doesn't it.
I previously asked this question (as anonymus coward); How are you supposed to power these things? And got some very good answers. You can't have them lugging around with batteries (they wouldn't be very nano, wouldn't last long and you'll just have to pray that they can find their way back to the loading station to recharge successfully). Submerging them in fuel already has it's own term, "grey goo", at that scale imperfectons will cause "mutations" that just might go amok; How would you monitor that? Nanotech only seem to be usable when either connected to a larger machine and thus not really nanotech only machinery with some very small pieces, or small scale controled, one off experiments not industrialised mass production.
(You'll just have to search for the original thread by yourself, great karma whoring op, and yeah, big thanks to all those who provided great answers, i really wondered about that one)

(AGP 1.0) Short answer: Anything that will physically fit will work.

Use the nv driver.
