Please review NVIDIA’s recent financial information for 2007: “Thanks to a series of record quarters last year, the company’s 2007 fiscal year was its most profitable yet: Nvidia amassed revenue of $3.07 billion and net income of $448.8 million over the year”.
Also note nvidia provides linux drivers that work. AIGLX? No problem. Some companies can afford to make bad drivers, and if that is ATI / AMD, congratulations on being in that position. Companies that don’t embrace new technology eventually get replaced by it.

Linux has a too small user base in order to influence AMD’s / NVIDIA’s finanical reports.. There are other reasons..
Btw, don’t forget that NVIDIA release *closed* source video drivers.

Well, our market is still small, btw also ATi provides closed drivers and they’re bad at all… For compositing are really better the open source ones so I think that ubuntu should invest resources and developers in those!

Point is, if you are not #1, then who are you to say you can exclude certain markets?

Unless you use vista, apparently.
