Can we get a list of cards (at least chips) that do and cards that don't
work with the X.org radeon driver?  The man page still says "2d only"
for all R300 and above chips, and I know that at least some of them have
3d support (even if it is still considered beta, it is enabled).

I have an AMD system, so AFAIK I can't get an Intel card (aren't they
all integrated?).  My only choices then for 3d with non-proprietary
drivers are ATI cards, right?

I opened a bugzilla about the man page recently:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=227342

I would submit a patch, but reading through the code, I'm not sure I
know exactly what is supported and what is not.  It looks like all the
R3xx chips should work (for at least some degree of "work"), while no
R4xx chips are supported.
