And maybe an updated list of where you do have 2d/3d acceleration?  :-)

I have a Sapphire 3870HD.  From lspci:

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Unknown device 9501 
(prog-if 00 [VGA controller])

I'm not sure when this will get 2d/3d support.  glxgears, for example, says 
410 frames per second, which seems awfully slow.  I could justify that speed 
nearly solely on the 2.5GHz 64-bit CPU.

Which DRM?  The kernel modules (dri.sf.net) or the library 
(dri.freedesktop.org)?  I don't have the modules (not sure if they're needed), 
but I do have libdrm at 2.3.1.

As for mesa, I have 7.1 rc3, which seems to have a configuration available for 
radeon, but not radeonhd, based on what options Gentoo is giving me.  (Same 
goes for dri.sf.net DRM.)
