Xpress 200m 5955, Gentoo 2.6.24-r2:
I couldn't get into GNOME and Xfce. In few configurations GDM even couldn't start. Switching to different vt hanged my laptop and i had to reboot.
I can't even say that xv or 3d accel worked.
For first time log said that loading kernel module failed, but GDM and Xfce started. It was unusable anyway - rendering single GTK button took one second. I had to wait for menu to render, scrolling console didn't refresh content. Compositing was off. I could switch to vt.
After compiling module, i couldn't get GDM to work - X just showed characteristic pattern, and nothing happened. Switching to different vt crashed.
Switching off AIGLX, RENDER, DAMAGE, acceleration in device section didn't help.
Actually fglrx works, and i'm happy with it, even if 3D is slow, there is no randr support and so on. It's better than nothing
