ATI is not supported for at least two reasons: 1. ATI does not provide decent drivers for Linux. I bought a ATI Radeon X1300 Pro, 256MB a while ago, it uses to be supported by a buggy ATI driver (it was just freezing my screen now and then). Later ATI drop support for Linux for this card, so by updating X11, the card was only supported by Mesa.
2. We tried another ATI on Windows and the only feedback from the driver was a compile error in a shader with an empty log (when the same shader code of course passed on nVidia, Windows or Linux). Imaging your C++ compiler just returning you "syntax error" without giving you any other information, like the reason and the line number, good luck with that.
