I have no trouble with NVidia cards.

The support for AMD/ATI cards has been a bit murky as AMD drops support 
for certain older cards.
My 4 year old laptop which has a radeon card used to fail starting X 
about 2 years ago and I had to build the radeonhd driver.
After some months the driver in openSUSE started working again.

I have never tried fgfs on a box with the radeon chip so I don't know if 
it works.

Sid.
