The opensource radeon driver in ubuntu feisty works fine too, has all funktionality, but the rolauncher doesn't accept it: Card too old, update drivers and other nonsense.
Please, if you support linux, please support open source drivers too. Probably, it is only a controlfile, that has to be updated or completed and the game will run ootb. Or do graphic card producers pay you money for making cards older than 5 years unsupported?

It's not NGD's fault, it's ATI that doesn't release good drivers for linux. The open source drivers are made by people outside ATI that, with a lot of work, probe and test and do the best they can without any kind of official information about how the video cards work. A word of advise, the next time you upgrade your video card go for NVidia, they release official drivers for linux.
