Both xpress 200m and x700 should at least work for 2d, and the x700 hopefully

There is not much hope of getting the X1xxx chips to work anytime soon, even
for 2d, as they are believed to be much different (especially as far as
modesetting/2d is concerned, radeon 7200 to radeon x850 are nearly identical
there). You can always use vesa driver, which of course totally sucks, and
there's a high probability you couldn't even use the display's native
resolution with that. Fglrx should support it at some point, but an ATI
employee stated it will take a couple of driver revisions, which I interpret
as something up to half a year.

Thanks (everyone) for the info. It's unfortunate, but it's what I
honestly expected. Looks like I'll either have to go suck it up and buy
an x700 notebook before they disappear, or gamble with a 200m and hope we
can figure out the memory controller (and memory management that goes
with it).
