The radeon driver in X.Org is where such efforts will be going on. I
suspect you'll see an increase in activity for supporting post-r3xx
cards for two reasons: a) the 2D engine has changed and the radeon
driver doesn't support new cards _at_all_, and b) there are efforts
underway via the Linux Foundation's NDA program to get docs from AMD/ATI
so that the opensource radeon driver can support newer ATI graphics
hardware.
