I want to know if its possible to get radeon 7000 to have 3d support in linux as there isn't any drivers for it on ATI's website

ati support is nowhere near nvidia (although nvidia needs to catch up to its FX cards) but it is getting better.

have you tried the gatos drivers?

Certainly not. There are drivers, but there not even a tenth as good as nVidia's drivers. Many don't even get them to work for 3D at all.
