Are there any companies making discrete laptop graphics that don't have proprietary drivers? I don't think I've ever seen an AMD powered laptop unless it used an APU. I shudder to think of what proprietary Linux drivers from a company less resourced than Nvidia are like.

There's at least 4 on AMD's website, so they do exist but they don't seem very common.

Also Intel has laptop chips, but I'm not sure if it's actually discrete or just another die on the CPU.
