If you want the "real" (and most fun) X experience (i.e. "Trade. Fight. Build. Think"), play X2:The Threat, if you can still get it.
Movement is acceptable? Do it have too long and boring travel intervals?
Is it open ended or closely scripted game?
(and how it work with r600g? )

X games are open universe. They're essentially a giant sandbox for you to play in. They have campaigns, but frankly those are mostly throw away. Basically, if you're playing an X game for the story, you're doing it wrong.
I love the X Series, it's my favorite modern space sim. You can do basically whatever you want. You can own all manner of ships, from scouts to fighters to transports to corvettes to giant carriers and destroyers. You can build factories and multiplex them. You can trade and set up a galaxy-wide merchant empire (that's my bag), as the game has a good supply and demand economy. You can be a defender and protect sectors. You can be a pirate and prey on merchants. You can lead giant fleets and assault whole sectors.
Words of caution:
*Cringeworthy voice acting
*STEEP learning curve
*Prepare to lose hundreds of hours of your life to this game

I still play Terran Conflict, so it will be cool to play it on Linux.

X3: Terran Conflict was first released in 2008 and marked the end of their X series of computer games.
