The radeon driver has seen a lot of improvements in the past monhs.
I'd recommend trying at least with a F11 livecd (they are installable,
too). You graphics hardware is at least supposed to be supported by
the radeon driver, as the other R700 generation cards are.

My RadeonHD 3650 works fine in Fedora 11.
