==============
Curtis,
You could do one of two things, check the card database or just startup
sax2, like you were going to setup your card and select ATI to view the
many different supported cards. Actually, the 9600 & 9800 were
supported under 8.2 XFree86. I don't think 3D was strong, but they
were supported already. You might not see 9600 or 9800 in the list as
many are listed according to the cpu onboard. R280, 250, 300, etc.
The 9200 has the 280, while the 9600 & 9800, I believe, are the 300 &
maybe the 350, not sure.
