In the Linux land 99% of the applications are open source. It is part of the nature of the GNU/Linux community ecosystem to endorse open software. But there are a few applications that are not open and as they fill up a niche, they are pretty popular. Come in and vote for your favorite.

So does the radeon and nv driver. The ATI proprietary drivers aren't any better on video, and neither is nvidia's.
They're really pretty much only helpful for GL. Although, the radeon driver hasn't been working right on my dual monitor setup so I had to switch to the proprietary one (the free one made white horizontal lines when there were large numbers of changes on the screen).
And the Nvidia driver provides a lot better dual monitor support than nv+xinerama, but the radeon driver provides its own similar stuff so it's really in the same class for dual head.
