Best graphics card brand for GStreamer?

[Alice Wonder]

I had a LOT of problems with my nVidia card that just simply went away 
when I took that card out and started using the Intel HD graphics 
built-in to my CPU.

For example, totem would fail to show video at all - but if I made the 
video a link in a web page (even on my local filesystem) then I could 
watch it in my webkitgtk browser via GStreamer.

I don't understand what the difference is, but that (and other) issues 
just went away when I stopped using an nVidia driver.

I suspect the issue is closed source drivers don't always interface well 
with the rest of the kernel and the kernel people can't do jack about it 
because the driver is closed source.
