-The x1000 series cards (x1300 and higher) cannot use the free xorg drivers; they
-are limited to the unaccelerated 2D vesa driver. Use the proprietary
-<c>ati-drivers</c> package if you want hardware-accelerated 2D/3D graphics.
-</p>

-<impo>
-The newest Radeon HD 2000 series cards are completely unsupported in Linux.
-There are no drivers from either xorg or ATI. It's probably best to hold off
-buying these cards until there's some kind of support in Linux. ;)
-</impo>
+<note>
+The HD 3000 series cards are based on the R600 chip, but there is currently no
+support in Linux for these cards. The open-source RadeonHD driver is expected to
+support these cards in the future, though the driver is currently under heavy
+development. ATI is expected to release an updated fglrx driver version with
+2D/3D hardware acceleration.
