I'm not aware of any (good) 3D cards with open source drivers.
Some ATI cards have a good 3D support. Check

Here's a post from a Linux sysadmin who ended up going with
Solaris for
some new systems because of this issue. He explains it better than me:

Relevant quote:
"In fact, I recently had to ditch Linux for a project which required four
different third-party add-ons, because I couldn't find a Linux
distribution common to those supported by all four. We had to buy a Sun
machine and use Solaris, because Sun has the common sense to keep a
consistent driver API across each major version."
Certification criteria is 99.99% of the time bullshit. If those vectors
are the only vectors that sysadmin can think of... well, I have pity on
him. Either he should know more, or he's being imposed great pains.
