4.1.0 stock does not support this card at all. Red Hat Linux 7.2's XFree86-4.1.0-3 supports it however there is a few bugs with it which seem to be fixed in 4.1.0-6 which you can test if you wish: ftp://people.redhat.com/mharris/testing/bleeding-edge >But...

The log below is from XFree86 4.1.0 as well, only it appears to be a non Red Hat version, so unless it is patched with Radeon Mobility support, it wont work anyways. When compiling X, you'll need to pass -fno-merge-constants to the compiler also. Details of how and why are at the top of the XFree86.spec file in the src.rpm. Hope this helps.
