When a card is not mentioned you have to assume that it is NOT working.
However: The FSF hardware database is quite incomplete. There is some more data
at
http://libreplanet.org/wiki/GNUCHILE/Hardware. But even this list seems not to
be maintained regularly (I sent the maintainer an update 3 weeks ago but
nothing
happened yet).
As for nvidia cards I have to say, that 3D is working with nouveau and
Gallium3D with my
GeForce 8400 GS but has some problems with the (onboard) GeForce 7025 I use at
work.
So it's mostly try&error.
Older ATI cards should work with 3D. I once had an ATI with Radeon 9250 chip
that worked
flawless with free drivers.
With Intel graphics chips you should have have no problems (mostly).
Kind regards,
Henry
