Phoronix suggests they don't all work well with open source drivers, those that
do work often don't do well multi-monitor, and most don't do triple DVI output
unless one buys one or more active adapters.

I don't want to pick a card that becomes obsolete and where the driver writers
have moved on and aren't interested in fixing the old bugs (e.g. the above bug
in the radeon driver).

Are the open source drivers for the evergreen cards (and newer) under active
development?
