I not only wrote emails, I even raised an offical problem ticket.

I also raised a ticket recently about their support of my Saphire 9600 
(Mobility Radeon rv350 M10, alsmot the same chipset). They closed it. I 
re-opened it. They closed again agin with a rather short note saying 
they didn't really care because they only support Linux out of the 
goodness of their heart & that's all.

The response I got from them on that one is appended below...

We have responded to your issue.

Solution: 	

The Linux drivers available from ATI are provide are "as is". You may be 
able to get further assistance from the Linux community at the links below:

To report issues with Linux drivers you can submit an online ticket 
using the “Linux Driver Feedback” Category, and your report will be 
received and reviewed/tested by our driver team.


Now why the include the "To report issues with Linux drivers you can 
submit an online ticket..." bit I have no idea. I would surmise based on 
the responses I've have from them ove rthis that they just don't really 
care...
