I think that it's PERFECTLY appropriate to subscribe to LKML and ask
them about it. They are always interested in supporting new hardware.
Often they are already working on it and can give you a schedule or
tell you what kernel to build to get it working.
My only point was they don't like the ati-drivers, not that they don't
want to support machines if possible.
Of course, ATI has to release specs for the Radeon driver to support
it completely. I think they do that but somewhat slowly.
Just my 2 cents,
Mark
