I know nothing about Athys. Sorry ... I do know I have an Rad 9700. Works fine but I haven't tried the ati drivers yet. Lemme reinstall linux & I"ll post my expereiences. Only caveat: I had to load linux using vgalo or whatever option it is in the advanced options menu when you go to install MDK. sigh...otherwise you get a black screen. :\ It sucks.
