nVidia is never more supported, they do not release documentation.. nor do they release open source drivers.
ATI (now owned by AMD..) is releasing documentation for newer chipsets, but it takes time for developers to create a working driver.
Consider trying a latest version of NetBSD or OpenBSD, try the radeonhd driver.. or the generic radeon driver.
Newer chipsets lack actual 2D acceleration hardware anymore, it's all done through the 3D electronics.. this can complicate things a bit.
Hope that helps..
