I have no idea.  I refuse to use ATI boards.  Every time I've run into a 
machine that has an ATI board, the video board is nothing but trouble.
I moved away from ATI and used Matrox, and later Nvidia boards, and have
had a much happier time since.

No better way to figure out if it's supported than to load the module
in the config file and find out.

Because, like I said, XF 4.x only has ONE server that loads the modules
for different cards.  The server is right there, /usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86.

rpm -ql XFree86 |less

Look at the various files installed - you'll see.
