It seems there is some confusion about what the driver claims to support. In some documentation the Mobility 9700 is supported, in others it is not listed. I visited ATI's site and the Mobility 9700 is available in the driver selection and it goes to Catalyst 8.10.
In a previous note the lspci output reports my card as a 9600 M10. In the Xorg.0.log it reports as:
Should upstream be contacted to determine if they intend to support the Mobility 9700 ? Up to Catalyst 8.9 the card has been supported. I have not tried 8.10 because I am using Intrepid.
