Are you using r300 or r400 based card? Has vanilla Xorg 7.0 now got the r300 DRI/3D features enabled? It's been under heavy work recently, and it'd be nice to know if now 9500-X800 card would possibly have some (not great, but still something and in open source) 3D support out of the box. The "r300" driver works also for r4xx-based cards, as they are so similar to each other.
At some point I got the impression that the 3D features might be disabled by default because of some stability problems with specific 9800 cards. Anyway, the modularity of of Xorg 7.0 makes it easier of course for distributors and others to provide 3D-enabled ati drivers.
