> Video card with 3D support? Well, people tell you to buy NVidia, becuase it works... but not with free drivers. What works with free drivers?

Anything based on the ATI-9250 (or 9200, 8200 etc) will, it was after that that ATI stopped providing specs. It's adequate for e.g. Flightgear Flight Simulator, Blender, and such -- I don't know if it's up to say Looking Glass. OTOH, the cards are inexpensive.

But I take your main point -- it is hard to find this information in general, and it does keep changing as drivers are developed and refined, and as new hardware comes out.
