k looks like I am wrong, I thought 3D was supported till just before the 9200,
see
http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/ATIRadeon#head-298bd23baafb9c2fad1774d1d2fa54bd2aa55e7d
"the 8500 through 9250 are supported by the r200 DRI driver"
"The [WWW]r300 project has an experimental 3D driver for R300 and newer chips,
with some success reported for R4xx cards and on PowerPC.
This driver needs more work, and as of April 2005 it is available only as source code from CVS. "
There's also a very complete how to at:
