Keep in mind that normal radeon driver is called x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati now. If you load the drm.ko and radeon.ko (and maybe agp.ko) kernel models with this driver, you'll have accellerated 3D as well as 2D (both XAA and the ne= wer EXA). Works like a charm on my Radeon X 1650 Pro, and should work with your card as well.
