Having a 'qualified hardware' list is not unusual for professional graphics applications. Unfortunately most consumer level graphics cards don't make it onto these lists, although with a bit of luck there's usually no problems. I had to ditch my own Radeon in favour of an NVidia Quadro4 980 XGL card, which is an excellent card, lets me run 2 monitors off it, and cured all my graphical application problems. Unfortunately I had to take a game FPS hit but that's not too worrying for me.
