Hmm, this question seems familiar...

We have 'Radeon 7000/VE's in the machines at work.  If all you need is a
2D graphics card they are fine.  For anything 3D they are worthless -
Tuxracer with not very good resolution might manage 1/5 frame per
second.  My laptop does far better with it's onboard graphics card
sharing system RAM.

The XFree86 "radeon" driver worked fine.  Early X.org "radeon" drivers
left artifacts all over the screen.  It was fixed ~ 2 months ago. 
I don't know anything about MDK 9.2 as to whether it will suffer or not.

Have fun,
Duncan
