That makes sense. So is there a list of which cards are supported? The Radeon manpage doesn't seem to be very clear on this and just lists support of cards by codename. I don't want to downgrade hugely if this is going to be supported in the future. I'm not in for anything too hungry or anything, just wanting compositing and accelerated video.
