I am thinking of buying an ATI Radeon, either an 8500 or a 9000.

Does anyone have the open source drivers for these ?

I believe that ATI released a "Unified driver package", which I
believe was open source, but I don't appear to be able to find this on
the ATI website.

The drivers appear to be binary only for the 8500 and 9000.

Do the open source drivers support open gl ?
