Well, yes, but while native x.org/mesa support for ATI is growing, since ATI 
is opening up their hardware to the free software community, for the 
foreseeable future you will always need Nvidia's binary blobs, to drive 
their hardware. ATI should be supported for their decision to support the 
free software community, and Nvidia should be boycotted.
