FWIW this has also been my experience. With an X300 (and Radeon <= 9250) you should have 3D acceleration too - thanks to the capital-F Free drivers written by ATI and included as part of the kernel/Xfree/Xorg. The low-end Radeons and Intel i8xx/i9xx are my graphics chipsets of choice for this reason. Cameron.
