Drivers are distributed pretty much the same way as nVidia, ie., as a binary
core along with the necessary wrappers to compile for new kernels, private
libGL.so, etc. Aside from that, we've generally had pretty positive
experiences.
These aren't quake cards; in fact the demo1 fps are surprisingly low. In
serious OpenGL benchmarks, however,
(http://www.specbench.org/gpc/opc.static/opcview.htm ) they're currently the
fastest cards available for Linux by a long shot.
I think FGL is what people at ILM, Dreamworks, Digital Domain etc. are using
at the moment in the gradual shift toward Linux on the artist's desktop. Not
cheap --- unless you've already forked over $16K for Maya ;-)
