The Radeon 8500 for the PC is one of the very few cards that ATI has
written Linux drivers for.  You can download them at the ATI web site. 
I haven't heard if they work well or not.

If you select ATI Radeon 8500 in the Red Hat display settings applet,
you get the same driver as the 7500 (radeon).  Again, I don't know
anyone who has one of these so I can't comment on how well it works.
