I just stumbled onto this, 
http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/ATI_Mobility_FireGL_9000, from what I can 
see I'm stuck with the Radeon driver  ,  the location they say to go get 
the old driver, is not available  for Linux.
So from what I read and understand , I'm  SOL .

ATI Mobility FireGL 9000


    Linux driver - Proprietary  



The fglrx <http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Fglrx> driver also provides 3D 
acceleration, but you have to use some old stuff: The ATI Mobility 
FireGL 9000 is only supported by fglrx drivers up to version 8.28.8 
which can be downloaded here 
<http://ati.amd.com/support/drivers/linux/linux-radeon-prer200.html>. Be 
aware that this driver only supports Xorg 7.1 and no newer versions!
