I would definitely *not* make that assumption. I would ask around first
before buying any video card as to whether it will work on your Mac under
Linux.
I'm not saying that a given card won't work, just that it may or may not.
If you have the chance, try the card first before buying.
(For example, right now I'm trying to get an Intel EtherExpress Pro/100 to
work in my Mac [Why? Because I have a few lying around...] but it doesn't
just automagically work. One of these days when I get enough sleep I'm
going to try to patch the driver...)
