Well, not quite yet. X.Org 6.8 doesn't have any 3D support for modern 
Radeon chips and the forthcoming 6.9/7.0 will have "experimental" 
support. But 2D is working just fine (I am typing this on an Inspiron 
8600C with ATI Radeon).

> I'd try 6.0 myself.

Seconded. So many things work better in 6.0 than they did in 5.4. Also, 
getting wireless to work is much easier - and WPA is available, while in 
5.4, it is not.
