Oh. I just had someone raving at me about the latest ATI cards (currently out around the 250-300 quid mark?) but I don't think even their support is full under free software at the moment.
Their "offical" support is non-free the same as Nvidia and from what I have heard is far worse in both terms of what capabilities they give you and the installer is very rpm focused.
As for what they actually give the free software community so that people can work on to support their products it looks about the same as Nvidia, i.e. not much. and they certainly are giving nothing important away. :(
