I pretty much gave up on ATI when the Xpert98 cards were dropped. I spent the better part of a day messing with various flavours of Radeon cards on Caldera 3.1.1 Workstation systems, finally giving up and getting a pretty vanilla nVidea card (PNY branded) that Just Worked(tm). ATI has what I perceive as a nasty habit of changing things frequently on their cards that break the XFree86 support, with the same names and part numbers on the card. I've been told that the nVidea cards basically use a common driver base, and that their new cards will generally work with old drivers although some features may be unavailable.
