ATI Radeon LE or what Radion cards are actually supported?

[Yuri Grebenkin <rainbreath@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi. I have very serious problems with my nVidia TNT2 M64 under FreeBSD 
4.9/XFree86 4.3. I mean I can't get acceleration to work in XFree86. Very 
buggy driver from nVidia hang's up my machine every time it starts. I 
tryed SDRAM/SGRAM detection problem, AGP configs... and many other tricks 
to get the driver working. But it hang's up over and over. I'm not the 
only one who has the same problem.

So, I decided to buy a new video card that is supported by XFree86 
directly. I think ATI is a good choice. I digged a man page about it and 
found that maximum fully supported version is Radeon 9000 with an RV250 
chip. But I can't find it in shops, in the stores. I found only Radeon 
9000LE. I was told that it is a ''light edition'' of Radeon 9000. Other 
cards that I see everywhere are Radeon 9200.

The questions are:

How am I supposed to determine the chip of a card if it's covered with 
cooler? :)

Does an ATI Radeon 9000LE has the same chip? Would it be fully supported 
as just a 9000.

Would an ATI Radeon 9200 be fully supported? Does it use the same chip as 
9000?

Thank you.
