Intel and VIA have 3D chipsets with open drivers.
You're not going to
get insanely high frame rates but that's the price of freedom ;-)
Don't these chipsets use 'host' memory rather than dedicated video
memory? If so, I'm not sure I want all that bandwidth stolen from the
CPU :(
There's also this project:

I've read about this. Interesting idea, but I still have doubts that
it'll produce ASIC/cards that will be affordable - though I'd love to be
proved wrong.
