Hardware

= Catalyst Only = * All RadeonHD 7000-series (aka Southern Islands) chips Note: The RadeonHD 7970 requires Catalyst 12-1 for full support

= Officially Supported (Catalyst & Open Source) = The following hardware is supported by current releases of the Catalyst/fglrx driver. Open source drivers will work as well. Note that RadeonHD 6xx0 chips will need kernel 2.6.38 for open-source mode-setting, xf86-video-ati/radeon 6.14.0 for 2D acceleration (EXA/Xv), and Mesa 7.11 for 3D acceleration.

= Older RadeonHD (Legacy Catalyst 12.6 & Open Source) =

ATI/AMD initially dropped Catalyst support for these cards in the generic Catalyst 12-6. These cards are now supported with the later released Catalyst 12-6 legacy, but you MUST use a kernel <= 3.2 and Xserver <= 1.11. For example, you can use Catalyst 12-4 if you're running Ubuntu 12.04 or Debian Squeeze/6.0. Open source support is good and 3D is still improving.

= Radeon (Catalyst <= 9.3 & Open Source) =

ATI/AMD dropped Catalyst support for these cards in Catalyst 9-4. These cards are supported with the legacy ATI 9-3 Catalyst release, but you MUST use a kernel <= 2.6.28 and Xserver <= 1.5. For example, you can use Catalyst 9-3 if you're running Ubuntu 8.04 or Debian Lenny/5.0. Open source support is good and 3D is still improving.

= Radeon Legacy (Open Source) = These cards are no longer actively supported by AMD as of the 8.28.8 fglrx driver. Unless you run an ancient distro, using the open source drivers is your only option.
