Try the following in Windows.
- open up a DOS box
- enter the command
debug
- enter the command
d c000:0
- note the text on the far right-hand side of the screen
- enter the command
d
- note the text on the far right-hand side of the screen
- repeat the d command a couple of times until you get all the banner
text from the BIOS dump
- to quit debug, enter the command
q
This should give you detailed info about the card's BIOS.
One trick that sometimes works with video cards is to specify an older
version. I believe that Radeon 7000 or Radeon 7100 are directly
supported by xorg. Try specifying them when doing your config. You may
not have all the latest/greatest features, but it should be pretty
good... if it works.

An infinite number of monkeys pounding away on keyboards will
eventually produce a report showing that Windows is more secure,
and has a lower TCO, than linux.
