The Radeon 8500 will work with XFree 4.2.0.  If you want a distro that will work with it, I've had RedHat 7.3 detect the card and configure X correctly with its "Xconfigurator" utility on several different machines.  If you have an All-in-Wonder Radeon 8500, you can then install the drivers from Gatos to display live video on your computer (ie - XvPutVideo)

Subject: [Xpert]ATI Radeon 8500 support

Hello,

            I have tried several different distros of linux and all will not load x because of my video card. I am writing to you in hopes of attaining information on making my Radeon 8500 work with Linux or when x free will be compatible with it. Thank you.
