I've used it under XFree86-4.2.0* in 16- and 24-bit modes, at several
resolutions from 800 to 1600.  I haven't bothered to try its 3D or
dual-monitor features.  I did find that 1600x1200 only worked well
up to 70 Hz, but I'm happy with that.

From /var/log/XFree86.0.log:

(--) PCI:*(1:0:0) ATI Radeon VE QY rev 0, Mem @ 0xd0000000/27, 0xd9000000/16, I/O @ 0xd000/8

Your question sounds like you're still using XFree86 3.x and I don't
know whether that supports the 7000.  Try www.xfree86.org or
groups.google.com .

I don't remember how I configured X but if "xf86config" fails you,
try "xf86cfg" or "XFree86 -configure".  And don't forget "xvidtune".
