Hi Felix, I currently own a Radeon 7500 AIW. Until 2 days ago I was using the gatos drivers. I haven't had any problems setting up the driver with xfree 4.2.1. The only thing that went wrong was avview that wouldn't compile (needs a version of tcl/tk newer than the current in the portage tree). You can still use xawtv though.
I was running Quake 3 1.31 quite well but with the release 1.32 the system would simply hang, some kind of overflow (gatos team are aware of it and that may change in the future) and another thing you'll lack is support for s3tc which prevent you from playing unreal 2003. Those 2 reasons made me switch for XIG's drivers, they work quite well. Hope this will help you.
