I'm using a Radeon 9600 (R350) with debian packages (32bits userspace,
64bits kernel) since a few weeks, and it works very well, apart from a
few visual glitches here and there (the only GL apps I use are some free
games, blender and some screensavers). The only thing I had to recompile
was the drm moduleset.
