I run a 3650 on SL5.2 just fine.  I don't see any reason why a higher 
end card on a slightly newer revision wouldn't work, except maybe kernel 
changes.  Just download/compile/install (I'm using 
ati-driver-installer-8-12-x86.x86_64.run) the ATI driver and you can use 
aticonfig to ease the Xorg editing.

I use the following to set up dual 19" LCD monitors, primary on the left:
aticonfig --initial=dual-head --xinerama=on --screen-layout=right \
--resolution=0,1280x1024 --resolution=1,1280x1024

Cheers,
Mark
