[Tfug] Most stable laptop video drivers

[Adrian]

Anyone have personal experience with the current crop of laptop video drivers 
on different platforms? My laptop is finally about to go kaput... I have been 
holding out for the last year and a half waiting for a non-HD laptop display 
to be back on the market, but it is still all the same HD crap screens.

So, after filtering stuff out I'm basically left with laptops that have the 
following video GPUs:
ATI FirePro M5950
nVidia Quadro 1000M
AMD/ATI Radeon HD 7570M

My current/dying laptop has a ATI Radeon x1100 in it, which always worked 
alright when setup, but was a pain in the butt to initially get working 
correctly or upgrading the driver. Do any of the above just work 
out-of-the-box with X? From what I can gather searching around, it looks like 
the nVidia probably has the best support, the 7570M the least... Anyone with 
personal experience?
