Perhaps there is a barrier. OTOH, considering the Test Cases, those willing to test should be capable of knowing what he/she has for video. If needed, some simple tests that gave me positive results: lsmod | grep ^radeon lspci -nn | grep -i radeon etc.
Oddly, just because of this I now realize that all three desktop systems I use nearly every day have radeon cards in them. Guess I'll be extra busy this week!
Actually, James tends to add an lspci command or some such to the announcements when he does 'em. I tend to assume most people at least know what video card they have, but maybe I'm assuming too far :)
*Anything* ATI built since, oh, 2000 or so counts. The last ATI card series that doesn't use the radeon driver would be the Mach series, vintage 1999.
