They constantly continue to open new data so the driver is improving pretty fast. For now it has even a basic 3D functionality and it could replace close-source fglrx driver in the future. http://www.x.org/wiki/radeonhd http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=articleitem=842num=1 In my experience either fglrx (on Linux) or radeonhd always improved things. Ok. That did the trick.
