Well, I play UT2K4 here and it works. It ain't super-blazing (1,6GHz,
512MB RAM, 128MB-Graphics-RAM so can't be too good for such hungry
games) but playable without any problems.

What do you mean by "heavy 3D"? Hardware-accelerated image-rendering
or games? I'm happy with 250FPS in Quake3Arena to be honest.

I don't say you have to but if I were you I would:
- - update the xorg to 7.X
- - build agpgart for your chipset into the kernel
- - build the DRM for the ATI Radeon into the kernel
- - configure xorg to use the "radeon"-driver (This is not just changing
one line, you will have to reconfigure the whole section because the
different drivers use different parameters)
