Not surprising, given ATI's lack of interest for alternative platforms.

What it supports today is pretty irrelevant (Voodoo series, Radeon series, Permedia 2).

As soon as Snap is integrated (which should be too long now) the palette of usable grpahics card will be rather large...

So what are you using now? A VESA Frame buffer driver?

We'll ignore the fact that ATi are about to release a Catalyst (i.e. - full accelerated 3D driver) driver for Linux then.

And in turn ignore all of ATI's history regarding "Linux support".  Let's put it this way: In the Linux community their reputation is not good.
