However, ATI Radeon 9200 in Apple Macintosh Mini does not work [even in 2D mode] under an accelerated driver from X.org today. Only fbdev works for sure. See https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3280 and https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=178433 .

I doubt the former is Mac specific; there's a bunch of known regressions in the 6.9/7.0 radeon driver, they're being worked on but help is always welcome.
The latter is a driver-independent bug in XAA (https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4456), which BTW still isn't fixed; the people in that Red Hat bug report were probably confused by a workaround for another XAA bug in GTK+ 2.8.12 which also happens to avoid this one.
