Yes

No

10.04 (Lucid) 11.04 (Natty)

An old card designed in 2000. Provides only basic support (no effects) in 10.04. Lack of 3D support means this card is NOT recommended for 11.04 however it does work with Unity2d.

3D needs fglrx see BinaryDriverHowto. Fglrx is compulsory for fixing some video problems. Package fglrx-control is recommended. TV-out works well if TV connected before starting X.

ddc on DVI does NOT work in open source driver, you have to edit xorg.conf for correct resolution & refresh rate. Does not recognize size of video memory correctly. Dual head not working for me on HP dc5750. 3D only accelerated in proprietary driver.

3D may hard-freeze X-server unless AGP mode is set correctly in Xorg.conf. If you have this problem, try adding Option "AGPMode" "4" to the device section of Xorg.conf

ATI does not support 3D for this model. Open source driver crashes when 3d starts. Use the Vesa driver for now. 3d support using open source is close!

if X server does not start with driver "Ati" (first boot) change it to "vesa" and then follow the instructions on BinaryDriverHowto. On some manufacturer's cards (I think Abit, a red card) openGL doesn't work, gdb says crash happens in the driver.
