Is there a module that supports OpenGL 2.0?

What ATI card are you using?  Apparently ATI and Linux don't go well 
together, especially with the newer cards.  They are a source of many 
problems.  ATI has a reputation for slow, reluctant support for their 
cards on Linux.  This is sad because I actually have preferred ATI 
cards.  Older cards are fairly well supported, but don't expect much 
support for the X series.

NVidia, on the other hand, is well respected for the support of their 
cards on Linux.  Apparently, they do an excellent job keeping their 
graphics drivers optimized, stable, and up to date on Linux, almost 
equivalent to their windows drivers.
