I'm looking at: http://www.xfree86.org/current/Status6.html#6 which says "Radeon", without qualifying it with any model numbers.

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=3Dy&quicklinx=3D28C= TKK&refererid=3DKK look right? It seems that most of these sites have far too little information about the product on them .
