All seem to be perfect , but 3D accelleration does not work! After a fresh install of ubuntu it didin't work so i try to update the driver to 6.14 version by addind a ppa but anything changed. Next i find another ppa with git version of the driver and with this version it worked for a few days. With next update of the driver 3D Accelleration does not work again!Currently i am running latest git version of the driver.

You're disabling KMS with radeon.modeset=0, but the 3D driver (probably r300g) doesn't support UMS. Either leave KMS enabled or try the classic r300 driver. (I thought the latest Ubuntu packages were supposed to fall back to that automatically in this case, but obviously that's not the case with the ones you're using)

I enabled kms ,as you can see by watching the new dmseg attachment, but it still not working!

The log file shows that 3D acceleration is initialized, but glxinfo looks like it's from the standalone software rasterizer libGL. Make sure that the libgl1-mesa-dri and libgl1-mesa-glx packages are installed, but not the libgl1-mesa-swx11 one.
libgl1-mesa-swx11 was installed. I removed it and i installed mesa-dri and mesa-glx. Something changed. When i try to enable desktop effects my screen blocks instead of saying " it's impossible to enable desktop effects"

any ideas??
Your last xorg log and glxinfo outputs look fine. Do other 3D apps (glxgears, openarena, etc.) run ok? What do you mean by "my screen blocks"? Sounds like it might be a compiz configuration issue.
glxgears don't work.... i don't think it's a compiz problem because also kwin fails to start desktop effects...with "my screen blocks" i mean that all menubars and windows disappear ,only desktop wallpaper and mouse cursor remain visible.
Can you attach the output of "LIBGL_DEBUG=1 glxgears"?
Created attachment 44630 [details] LIBGL_DEBUG=1 glxgears it seems to be not very good!
(In reply to comment #19) > Created an attachment (id=44630) [details] > LIBGL_DEBUG=1 glxgears > > it seems to be not very good! Looks fine to me. What does "glxgears don't work" mean? Corrupt display? blank window?
it means black window! i tried also openarena (as you suggested) and i get black screen. I tried also a ubuntu live cd that uses different version of xorg ati driver and mesa , the result it's the same black screen!
I don't know if this page is yet updated but here(http://www.xfree86.org/current/radeon.4.html) i found my video cards is only 2D supported . The answer is why it worked for a few days with git versione of the driver?

That page is out of date. 3D works fine on your chip. You seem to have some local configuration problem.
what i have to search for?

It should work out of the box on any recent Linux distro (Fedora, Ubuntu, OpenSuse, etc.). Something seems to have gotten broken on your system.
i tried opensuse ,ubuntu 10.10 and ubuntu 10.04(alpha 3) : same problem
just tried fedora 14: nothing changed
I finally make my ati work!!! I reinstalled xorg mesa and dri packages , and then i disabled kms. Now all is ok! 3D effects and also suspend and hibernate. I don't know the problem is dealing with ati driver or kms package.Thank you for your replies that help me a lot resolving the problem.
