Re: ATI M3 / Kernel 2.6.10
I don't believe that the dri ati drivers support direct rendering.
You might want to read stanchina's howto and use his debian packages,
although I'm unsure if the fglrx proprietary driver is compatible with
the M3. I suppose it's worth a shot if you want direct rendering...
