not-too-recent ATi cards are fully supported, and, compared to other options
(Matrox, what else is there...), more used and probably cheaper.

Also nvidia-based cards are well supported.

But if you don't need high performance there are also intel's gfx chips.
The drivers for intel gfx chips are open-source and have been incorporated
into the kernel so there is no need for additional drivers instalation if you
need 3D acceleration. But I don't know which intel chips are supported
by the drivers - probably all the new ones are, but if you decide then check
that out.
