I'm not sure if it's worthwhile or not, but if you want/need it, I've
got a Radeon x1950 at home that I can pop in for a r300g run.

I like the UI in general, the one suggestion that I have at the moment
is to split <div id="table"> into two divs.  Anchor the driver
names/generations to the top of the window (position:fixed) and allow
the table content to continue to be scrolled.  That way you always
have the card names at the top of your screen.  You'll probably need
to add a dynamically-sized spacer to the top of the 2nd div, but I'll
leave that as an exercise to the reader.
