Funny, worksforme here, both ATI and NVidia cards.  XGL won't run without 
HW acceleration.  Maybe you should tell the XGL and Compiz folks that 
their software doesn't work... ;-)

I'll add Matrox G400/550 and Intel GMA945 on the list.

OK, let me rephrase: "Especially since most hardware manufacturers still 
don't support Linux yet." That better?

(Very crappy) edited image attached. Don't kill me.

Bah why do I bother saying "don't kill me". I know you will anyway.

forgot to remove it, made it look weird :)

We have already covered working 3D-on-Linux for Ati, Nvidia, Matrox and 
Intel on this thread. Who else is there to blame?

ATI, NVidia, Matrox so far.  Oh and Intel.

Take a look at the support for cards in XGL.  XGL requires HW 
acceleration in order to work at all - software only won't cut it.
