According to <http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/ATI>, the 9200 is the
highest supported, but that page hasn't been updated in over a
year.  <http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/ATIRadeon> says that the
9250 is currently the highest ATI chipset that has stable open
source drivers, and it seems to be the up-to-date page.  (But
unfortunately, it's difficult to navigate that wiki.)

>From the responses, it sounds like the ATI-based card would be at
least as good as the Matrox, so that pretty much answers my
question.  Thanks to everyone who replied.
