The XFree86-4.3.0 Radeon driver does not support the Radeon 9800.

See <http://www.xfree86.org/current/radeon.4.html>.

For this reason, I recently chose to purchase a Radeon 9500 instead
of something newer.

XFree86 ought to support the Radeon 9800 as a generic SVGA card anyway.

See also <http://www.xfree86.org/current/Status6.html#6>
and <http://www.xfree86.org/current/ati.html>.
