I'm not a KDE user, but I do have the ATI Radeon HD series card in my
system. Problem with this card is that currently Catalyst driver
doesn't work with the latest Xorg releases (xorg-server to be precise)
and the open-source drivers provide no support for accelerated 3D. If
latest KDE requires latest xorg-server as someone pointed out earlier,
then KDE does leave you no choice other than giving up accelerated 3D.

I don't really know how this could be relevant for Scribus, though. I
use the latest Xorg release here with no 3D, and Scribus doesn't mind
it.
