Radeon 9550 is based on the ATI R300 chipset. The X.org 'radeon'
driver should work just fine. You could also specify 'ati' in
xorg.conf, and X will auto-select the correct driver (which would
still be 'radeon'). `man radeon` for more details.

The Free X.org driver works fine for most everything but accelerated
3-D. If you find yourself falling behind during those all-night
Quake 4 sessions, you might need the proprietary drivers.
