I only use Nvidia. Best cards best support although proprietary driver.

Unfortunately I think that probably rules out nVidia for me if I am
looking at writing a custom driver. Details programmers documentation
is probably my highest priority after the basic requirement that it
be able to co-exist with anohter card, with clean/simple interface being
the next priority (eg framebuffer directly addressible without any
indirection).

Perfermance is definately way down the list, as I'm not really planning
in implementing support for fancy acceleration features.

Have you heard of the Open Graphics Project? It sounds like perhaps
you're looking for something like that. The URL is:

http://www.opengraphics.org

Note, though, that the only thing they have available now is a
rather expensive model for people who want to help develop the
board, so it won't really help you right now. But I thought you might
be interested.
