If you want to get mired down in the whole FLOSS vs blob drivers thing... then... Intel is the easiest route/solution... no futzing about, but the trade-off is a card who's performance is... poor overall.
When did you try one last? Certainly the old stuff, 810, 815, 820, 830, & 845, are anything but stellar, but somewhere in the 865 or 915 vicinity they started looking pretty respectable, and 915 is already something like 7 years old, _many_ generations behind current. I hooked up a 945 to my HDTV a few days ago to play DVDs and MPEG-4 DVB HD, and it does just fine on everything watched so far. What's really nice about Intel is it's onboard, which typically means dual output is often easy without spending a lot on an ordinary single PCIe slot card. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
