According to lspci I have:
ATI Technologies Inc Radeon Mobility M6 LY
Not the same, but no doubt simpilar. This one works great with 2D and
3D acceleration. The 3D acceleration only just got stable since I
installed kernel 2.4.19 and XFree 4.2.1 from (Debian/unstable). Quake
3 is quite playable (at 640x480 anyway).
Framebuffer works great at 1024x768 using the VESA framebuffer.

The only prolem I am having now is that mplayer won't play large movies
when I have the "dri" module loaded. Something to do with xvideo and
dri interfering I guess.
