Yes, ATI 9200 is supported. I have an ATI 9800Pro - a special fanless edition from Sapphire, with a HUGE heat-spreader - but these new ATI cards are not supported in 64-bit by that open source driver with its 3D functions, just the simpler 2D functionalities. See what RDI says about this on http://dri.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/moin.cgi/ATIRadeon . Excerpt: "Open source 3D acceleration is available on all radeons up to and including the 9200 (rv280). 3D support for r300 based cards (9500 and above) is only available from ati's binary driver." 3D drivers in 64 bit are not available at all for newer ATI cards, be it Windows or Linux.

I've been told open source 3D driver was available for ATI 9200, not top of the line, but the most powerful model with open source 3D I could find by asking around (fedora list in this case, don't know if SuSE includes a working DRI/3D supporting this).
Yes, the readme for the X version that will come with 9.1 does say so. I took the gamble and bought my AMD64 with a ATI9200SE The other reason for it is that I wanted a silent system for reasonable price and this card is fanless.
