https://www.thinkpenguin.com/gnu-linux/geforce-8400gs-1gb-pci-express-20-video-card-gnulinux-full-low-profile-brackets says, that 3d and all other features are supported with free software.
Is the driver noveau software?
On http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/CodeNames/#nv20family under codename 218gt is geforce 8400gs listed. Does that mean that also geforce 205, 210, G 210M have free software availiable and the cards listed all have 3d support and what else properties the cards have?
Do all the graphic cards listed on the website have 3d and moreover full feature support provided by free software?
Nouveau handles all nVidia cards but the very oldest and the newest... but the support level greatly varies! ThinkPenguin chose to sell the GeForce 8400GS because all its main features are working and the performances obtained with nouveau are close to those obtained with the proprietary driver : http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=nvidia_nouveau_q111
I would assume that the other cards of the NV20 family would be good choices as well. I have never seen Linux-libre running such a card though...
