Handy doc. http://www.xfree86.org/4.0/Status.html


Note as far as ATI goes:

All chips supported in 3.3.6 are supported in 4.0 except for Mach8 and
some old Mach32 chips. The support in 4.0 is, however, unaccelerated for
all chips except the Rage 128.

This suprises me, as common as ATI cards are... I can't live without
acceleration. ;)
