If you can find out what it's most similar to that *is* supported by Xorg, there's a chance it will prove very easy to add support for it. There is support for the X1900 series: http://www.x.org/archive/X11R7.6/doc/man/man4/radeon.4.xhtml It *could* prove to be as easy as tweaking the radeon driver to recognize the chipset as one if its supported models.
