Yes

ATI

Radeon Mobility 9700 (M11)

Yes (but as M10)

Yes

Yes

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.

You need to use the 'vesa' driver to get X working via TV out.

ATI

Radeon 8500 (and above!)

Yes

Yes

Yes

GRUB hangs if TV is connected(!)

ATI

Yes

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

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!

Works in Breezy, locks up when starting X on Dapper (at least the 256mb model). Malone bug [https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/linux-meta/+bug/31527 31527].

Depends

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.
