Your best bet is to switch to something supported with open source
drivers, e.g Radeon 9200/9250 (r200) can be had quite cheaply.

r500 may now be on option with AMD's release of docs and such. Give it
a few months.

Or stick with nvidia and keep an eye on the Nouveau project.

Currently my graphics card of choice is an ATI r200 based one,
9200/9250.

If I was buying a new machine, I'd probably go for on board Intel.
