There was a mention that Suse was releasing a driver 'shortly' is there
any info about whether Redhat/Fedora are contributing or aiding in this
development?

See the link above for the code from Novell. David Airlie who works for Red Hat has a long history of working on drivers for ATI cards so this is likely to be a cross vendor effort.

Would love to read more about it.  While it's still early days if there is
an improved 2D driver would that get ported/backported to Fedora 7?

That seems unlikely. This is the early stages of a initial code drop. Probably would take a few more months for things to settle down.
