I don't know the HD3850 card.

2. Which ATI graphics cards can use this driver?
The ATI Proprietary Linux driver currently supports RADEON 8500 and
later,
as well as FireGL 8700 and later products. We do not currently plan to
include support for any products earlier than this.
Drivers for earlier products should already be available from the DRI
Project or Utah-GLX project.
Here, I have a Readon HD 3300 (onboard) and xorg-server-1.6.5 .
Using the x11-drivers/ati-drivers-9.10 graphics is really fast
including googleearth.
But, as noted earlier, these ati-drivers don't work with
xorg-server-1.7.1
Helmut.
I have xorg-server: 1.6.3.901-r2, and xorg-x11: 7.4-r1. Were is the x11-
drivers/ati-drivers-9.10 FAQ?
That should be OK. I don't know where to find the FAQ except after
having x11-drivers/ati-drivers-9.10 installed.
The you can find it under
/usr/share/doc/ati-drivers-9.10/html/fglrx/driverfaq.html
/usr/share/doc/ati-drivers-9.10/html/fglrx/linuxfaq.html
