Unfortunately this chipset series fall in between the supported cards of
either radeon (too new) or the radeon_hd (too old) driver. These cards
could be supported through the radeon_hd driver (as in Linux), and the
driver contains parts which are indicative of work in this direction.
Completing this without deeper knowledge of the Haiku driver is non-
trivial (the Linux driver is no help since, codebases are too different).
Haiku is a good choice for old laptops, where these chipsets were used;
having native display resolution would be a nice improvement.
