Is that going to be a problem? Hi ! This, I can reply to :) Now that we start to see some working free drivers for ATI cards, one should use the name fglrx when referring to the proprietary drivers. The fglrx drivers are the ones that have issues with the -rt kernels. You should be safe with the xf86-video-radeonhd or xf86-video-ati driver (yes, even with a radeonHD card, xf86-video-ati will work). Although remember that on r6xx and r7xx chipsets, both drivers are far from bug free (although it does work for me for everyday use).
