My R61 has got the same card, it's supported in 4.3, to the extent that I have the full panel resolution correctly detected. However, X is slow, really slow. And there's no acceleration for anything, including no xvideo mode. xvidtune doesn't allow any other mode but the native mode. So, depends what you intend. Basic desk work with `normal apps' like xterm: no issue. Fast stuff with accelerated graphics, video -> stay away !!!! Maybe nouveau will be better. It's so fucking hard to find a correct laptop where most everything will work correctly these days...
