Are you new to linux or new to living? Most people look for answers before asking stupid questions, I personally can recommend Google and the ATI home page for answers to this particular question

thank you for the smart remark lol the only reason i asked is cuz i have FreeBSD installed on my computer and i tried using the ATI Radeon driver from its database to run my video card, but it failed on me. So I wanted to see if Linux supports ATI better than FreeBSD because i might switch over.

Good idea, however simply checking the ATI site would have given you the answer.

We love helping people move to linux, we really do but there are like 10-15 questions that just get asked over and over and over again, this is one of them.
