Not true. Read JTD's mail on his experience with the new mobo with ATI that did not work out-of-the-box.
Select hardware like ATI (and Nvidia I think) are an exception to this rule. I'm guessing you will get good performance with good resolutions for your X out of the box. It's just that the power of the graphics system (3D support for example) will not be out of the box so to speak. you will have to probably install the manufacturer's driver for it.
Also, I believe ATI manufacturer written drivers are proprietary. There's reverse engineered drivers available (not full performance though) since the specs are not open.
