Kim is right. It is too frustrating trying to keep kernels and closed 
kernel modules synced.

I've abandoned trying to use nvidia or ati cards. The closed drivers are 
  impossible to maintain, and the open drivers are much too slow.

For desktops with Intel chipsets, there are now full open-source 
drivers. If your LCD monitor has DDC/DI capability, you can add an 
"ADD2" card to get a DVI-D output (instead of the motherboard VGA 
connector). The open Intel drivers work very well, performance-wise and 
maintainability-wise. Highly recommended!

Doesn't help if you are using a laptop, I know.
