Both cards are already working with the development release of XFree86
(4.3.99-something).  I'm not saying "supported" because nothing about
the dev release is supported.  It would be safe to expect that support
for both cards will continue to exist in the eventual XFree86 4.4 stable
release.  XFree86 driver development is now actively supported by ATI -
if you look in the changelogs you will see that the Radeon support is
being worked on by a programmer with an ATI mail address.

This is not restricted to YDL, or to Linux on the PPC, of course.
