It does? I'm looking at:
http://www.xfree86.org/current/Status6.html#6
which says "Radeon", without qualifying it with any model numbers. Is
there some documentation I'm missing?

OK. I've had a look through the ATI site, and found
http://mirror.ati.com/products/builtdesktoppc.html
which looks right. From there, the Radeon 9000 Pro seems appropriate..?
I confess, I'm getting thrown by the acronyms. For example, does
http://www.dabs.com/products/prod-info3-info.asp?&m=y&quicklinx=28CTKK&refererid=KK
look right? It seems that most of these sites have far too little
information about the product on them <sigh>.
