ATI video cards are way more problematic than nvidia cards in a *nix environment imo. I've always found that at least nvidia tries to take the initiative and offer drivers that are usually available via a repository depending on your distro.
@fguy - Don't forget, you more than likely will have to reinstall any custom drivers for devices if you upgrade your kernel
