There appears to be support but it is fragmented, complex and difficult. I 
have a Radeon 64 DDR blahblah - it has worked fine right out of the gate for 
all ordinary purposes. But demanding 3D games and such require pretty 
sophisticated tweaking. I've never put in the work required I suppose  - when 
even Red Hat Help put  me of by simply telling me that it was their 
understanding that the tweaks did exist, but did not tell me what they were I 
just sort of never got around to it. There is just so much work to be done 
you have to pick your battles.
