Hi,

maybe the fglrx-Driver by ati works ( have a look at ATI.com ), but I tell you: You will not have the great performance your card can give you under Linux.
At the moment, driver support is even bad for my radeon 9000.
There is a kernel-driver, but your card is not in the manual...
The ATI driver is not able to give you 3D performance as it should...

Benchmarking rendering people with some gforce2 or 3 get more fps than I do. I`m waiting for a new driver by ATI, because the actual one ( 3.14.1 ) doesn`t work with latest xorg.

So if you wanna play ego-shooters or other 3D under Linux, choosing ATI might be a bad Idea...look for some ATI threads for examples...
