I would probably go with the X850. The r300 project has made some great
progress. Basic DRI support is in xorg 7 and it's an active project.

Status is here: http://megahurts.dk/rune/r300_status.html

You can grab one from ebay for $50 or so. I have one using that driver,
but it's on FreeBSD (no xorg 7 yet, no kernel DRM yet). Looks like
the community with get opengl running on this box before ATI will.
