XFree86 4.1.x ATI Radeon support?



Hi,

I am looking for a video card for the new Linux only computer. I
noticed that /usr/doc/xserver-xfree86/README.ati on my current Woody
installations (xserver-xfree86 4.1.0-14) says

    --> The newer Rage 128 and Radeon chips are not yet supported by
    --> this driver.  Rage 128's and Radeon's are, however, supported
    --> by separate drivers, and own- ers of such adapters should
    --> consult the documentation provided with these drivers.  This
    --> driver will also invoke the appropriate driver if it finds
    --> Rage 128 and/or Radeon adapter(s) in the system."


But the status document in the same directory states:

    --> 4.1.0: Accelerated support is provided for Mach64, Rage, Rage
    --> 128 and Radeon chips.  Unaccelerated support is provided for
    --> all of the others except the Mach8 and some early Mach32 chips
    --> by the "ati" driver.

So, can I get myself a Radeon card? 

Cheers!
Shyamal
