Yes. DRI is enabled.

I tried 3d effects on fedora. Now I don't know for sure, but I suppose
it is Xgl.
I will double check later.

Somewhere I read that the driver has no support for FBO nor pBuffer.
Maybe FBO in the future.
Are you talking about this thing, here?

Precisely, these sentences from opensuse site:
    *  Driver has neither pBuffer nor FBO support. When using a
composite manager all windows are rendered in software and only
compositing is hardware accelerated. Astonishingly, this works well
enough for most use cases. FBO support is supposed to be added to the
driver in the near future.
    * XVideo YV12 surfaces are hardware accelerated (when no composite
manager is used or for fullscreen unredirected windows), but due to a
bug in the driver the video will miss one of the color channels,
leading to false greenish/purple colors. This has to be investigated.

Are these sentences still valid?
