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.
