A 9200 is a rebadged 8500 or close to it, so anything up to a 9200 will work
in X 4.3. I have a 9500 Pro at home, and could not get the firegl binary
drivers working at all, but 2D works under X.

ATI has promised specs and cards to any DRI developer wanting to do it, but
I don't know the truth in that.
