The Radeon 3450 uses a RV620 chip
[http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-radeonhd/plain/README].=
=20

The radeonhd driver (x11-drivers/xf86-video-radeonhd) now supports 2D
accelleration for this chip.

3D hardware accelleration support for this chip (and indeed all R6xx chips)=
 is
being worked on, but not ready for prime time. See
[http://www.x.org/wiki/radeonhd]

The Xorg server falls back to software 3D rendering through Mesa
[http://www.mesa3d.org/]. Depending on your application and CPU power this
might be fast enough.
