compiz - Dec 2009 - compiz on OpenSolaris - recommended video card

Hi,

I was wondering if there was a recommended video card or laptop for
using compiz on OpenSolaris?

I know about the Toshiba OpenSolaris laptop but want to exclude them
from consideration for awhile anyways.

I can use "Desktop Effects" on Linux with my current laptop which uses
the Intel Extreme Graphics II chipset.

There is an option to purchase an ATI Radeon/FireGL that is the
alternate video card for this laptop.

Anyone?

Thanks in advance,
alan

Only nvidia has 3D drivers for Solaris.

Well that certainly narrows it down. :-)
