Iv'e installed suse on NVidia hardware ever since the 0.7 series (of the NVidia driver) / Suse 6.4 , and I've never had much problems with NVidia [8<] When it comes to having a 3D card capable of viewing large seismic volumes under Linux , nvidia is the only card that delivers. And it also does support stereo.
Don't discount ATI.
I haven't tried their latest series of drivers . They don;t support stereo (unless you go with Xi Graphics, and if our experience with their wildcat drivers is somethign to go by, they are not yet where nvidia was a year ago). Can you use the ATI drivers with custom kernels ?
We've tested a bunch of other cards (inclduing the wildcats with custom Xserver) and none of them come close for our purposes.
I've had mixed results with them. When they work, they're good.
The main issue is that we have multiple apps , which use one or more
accelerated OpenGL context per window, and may have multiple windows open.
(but this is getting a tad off topic now ;) )
