It seems that starting with version 3.2.5 the Linux driver for ATi Radeon 8500-9800 display card will become officially supported via the FireGL driver, you can check out the ATi driver page to find out. And btw, XFree86 4.3.0 version is available too:

I suppose ATi wants to do more testing before making an official announcement. ATi card users may want to give it a try.

 

Note:

 

KT400 patch is still required for running AGP 8X with Radeon 9500-9800:
