You might look into the OpenGraphics card. Its
developers seek to build a graphics/video card whose
internal design (chip features) are fully documented.
The open specifications will allow developers to write
FOSS drivers for GNU/Linux:

It is currently in development stage, but they've
released a draft schema of the card [1] and the PCB
layers [2]. If anyone is interested in helping out,
please join the OpenGraphics mailinglist [3].
