Radeon Video Card Support.

[Jason Bacon]

If you can find out what it's most similar to that *is* supported by 
Xorg, there's a chance it will prove very easy to add support for it.

There is support for the X1900 series: 
http://www.x.org/archive/X11R7.6/doc/man/man4/radeon.4.xhtml

It *could* prove to be as easy as tweaking the radeon driver to 
recognize the chipset as one if its supported models.  Or, it could mean 
studying the spec sheet and writing hundreds of lines of new code.  :-/  
Only one way to find out...
