FreeBSD support for ATI graphics cards

Hello, I am looking to buy a laptop (AMD/ATI) and run FreeBSD on it and possibly run some games under Wine. I have looked through both the mailing list and the supported hardware list however neither mentioned ATI graphics cards. The laptop that I have been looking at has the "Radeon HD 6650M" graphics card (http://shop.amd.com/US/_layouts/shop/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=LX.RCH02.004).

Questions:

* Does FreeBSD have drivers for the Radeon HD 6***M series?

* Which models of ATI graphics cards does FreeBSD have drivers for?

* Would anyone suggest a specific laptop (even if it is not AMD/ATI)?

Thank you.
