What about VIA? Their EPIA boards have onboard graphics which I think is their own, rather than intel's. The drivers are free. No doubt it's performance is weedy in comparison to the 3 main manufacturers, but for many applications (perticularly the multimedia the boxes often target) it is quite good enough.

So you can buy non-intel computers with free graphics. Still on-board, admittedly, and not at the high-performance end of things. Those people need to follow drag's advice on which cards have free drivers.
