Hi, is know that ATI/AMD chips are almost useless without blobs (yes, tested myself some grahics chips). My question is:

Does all old "ATI" graphics chips need to run blobs?

https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Radeon

Gentoo's wiki says: Microcode is required for R600 and newer GPUs.

So R600 is HD2400-2900, HD3450-3870...

I have some Ati Radeon 9600 and 9600 pro, all AGP versions.

No. I have an ancient radeon and I get a nasty slow 2D and the correct native resolution without any blobs.

I don't know if those cards you mention would work without the blob.

Then there's also these probably worth looking at
