The LY is a chip of the M6 class, AFAIK.
This means it might or might not run
with drivers that do support the ATI Rage 6.
(I dont know, i dont have such a Laptop.)
Other than that, the ATI closed source drivers
do support the 8500 trough 9700 series of Radeon
grafic boards. This is the R200 and R300 chip series.
So there is some confidence that this drivers
will run on the respective Laptop versions of
the chips, which makes me think of the M9.

PS: i should not forget the full FireGL board support.
