> the majority of Radeon cards have full 2D/3D support in Open Source drivers (and those drivers actually have developers from ATI working on them)

And yet, the performance is still an order of magnitude worse than the proprietary driver (last time I bothered to compare them, anyway).

These days its more a factor of 2 than an order of magnitude. At least for 3D processing, the open source driver is actually faster on 2D.
