Hardware 3D accelleration for this GPU (codename RV710XT) isn't available y=
et,
I think.  If it was, the command 'grep Direct /var/log/Xorg.0.log' should
return '(II) RADEONHD(0): Direct rendering enabled'.

3D accelleration support for newer Radeons is being worked on, though, and =
to
quote Robert Noland it is "coming along nicely".

If you are willing to install the radeon kernel module and possibly libdrm =
and
the radeonhd driver from their respective git repositories, it might
work. Otherwise, you'll have to be patient for a while longer.
