On the web page it says that 3D acceleration is only implemented on R5xx and RS6xx upto now. Does that include a Radeon Mobility X1400?

Yep.

If yes, what do I need (Which Kernel(-config), X.Org-Version, ...) in order to get 3D-acceleration?

Recent Mesa, kernel, X.org, radeon or radeonhd driver. Released stuff, nothing special. And there is no hard line (therefore I won't give you version numbers), 3D is supported for quite a while, but support is getting better all the time, and there are still quite some bugs to be fixed.

Matthias, what about old bug about "lost of sync" effect on notebook panel ?

Gimme a hint. Do you have a bug number?

As well as strange effect with mouse cursor - sometimes mouse cursor starts to shake or blink on some areas of screen, then it passes.

Yes, we still don't have a freaking clue why and when this happens.

And last question: why output naming is different between radeon and radeonhd drivers ?

Long story short: You can use analog and digital bits of DVI outputs at the same time only with this naming scheme.

It is a bit hard to use one Xorg configuration (dual-head setup) and switch drivers.

Yeah, I know. We had a lengthy discussion on this mailing list about whether or not to change, and the result was pretty much 1:1.

Bug google-earth - still does not work (I have FreeBSD, so it tries to run under Linux emulation).

Try the following in your .drirc (Create it if you don't have one): see Attachment That did it for me. The important line is the vblank line. But I don't know whether that fixes it for you (never used any BSD variant myself).

No bug, as far as I remember it was talk on irc or in mail. Problem - on X start or console switch either to X screen or back to text console screen looks exactly as CRT monitor which is out of sync (picture jumping and has no fixed vertical edges). Switching X-text-X, probably several times, fixes problem. Problem affects only PANEL output, external monitor is fine. Problem do not appears (or appears not so often on single-head configuration). I can file a bug, but can't provide much details to it, probably short avi clip ?

Yesterday it crashes system. First mouse cursor grow about 5 times of normal size and looks as vertically duplicated copy of part of arrow, then there was hard freeze.

Thanks for clarification.
