Thank you for replying. Unfortunately beside tests you proposed I cannot find anywhere on the Net list of ATI GPUs fully (3D) supported.
Testing approach could only work for my card or cards available in my neighborhood. Even if I have all cards in my home it'd mean that I have to change them each time for testing, and it means changing drivers etc. Really hard/expensive/not reliable work, isn't it. I contacted engineers from Xorg community and all I could say is that beside guys from SUN only *Dave Airlied* from Australia (working for Red Hat) helped me by explaining me some stuffs via IRC. I want to stress this because I really want that community knows it. Other engineers did not want to explain some thing to the newbie like me (personally, I think now I'm not such newbie anymore). When you add to this poor documented code, it is normal that Xorg goes forward very slow. It's learning curve is just very tough. I was one of the best at my Faculty, and believe me this is one of the hardest thing I ever started to learn. I think that my PhD would be easier than this.
