Except for some Intel cards, that's not true by a long shot. Only very
old ATI cards are supported, you can't buy a card retail (current radeon
HD4000 or even HD3000 or HD2000) that works in a current distribution or
even in the next batch of distribs (they are in alpha state already and
the drivers don't exist yet). NVIDIA are of course not supported at all
by OSS drivers (nouveau is progressing slowly).

Things are changing, but it'll be something like a full year before
end-users see all working on their desktop for ATi cards and more for
NVIDIA.
