Here's some concise notes on getting 3d acceleration working on southern-islands AMD Radeon hardware using the free radeon driver under Debian.

3d acceleration requires:
# [http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/Glamor/ GLAMOR] support for the xserver.
# [http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/Glamor/ GLAMOR] support built into the radeon driver, and
# [http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/gallium/ Gallium3D] support added to the MESA libraries.

== GLAMOR enabled xserver ==
Xorg 1.6.0 will include the GLAMOR library, and is available with the version 1.15.999 in the [https://wiki.debian.org/DebianExperimental Debian experimental] repositories.

# Add the [https://wiki.debian.org/DebianExperimental Debian experimental] repository to your /etc/apt/sources.list file.
#
sudo apt-get install -t experimental xserver-xorg-core xserver-xorg-dev
sudo apt-get source -t experimental --compile xserver-xorg-input-evdev
# Install the built xserver-xorg-input-evdev package.
# Add <code>Load "glamoregl"</code> to /etc/X11/xorg.conf in the Module section
# Add <code>Option "AccelMethod" "glamor"</code> to /etc/X11/xorg.conf in the Device section

== GLAMOR enabled driver ==
GLAMOR is disabled in the Debian xserver-xorg-video-radeon package (as at 7.4.0-1), so we need to modify the source and build it.

apt-get source -t experimental xserver-xorg-video-radeon

In xserver-xorg-video-ati-7.4.0/debian/rules change <code>--disable-glamor</code> to <code>--enable-glamor</code>

dpkg-buildpackage
sudo dpkg -i xserver-xorg-video-radeon_7.4.0-1_amd64.deb

== Rebuild MESA ==
apt-get source -t experimental libgl1-mesa-dri

Change mesa-10.2.1/debian/rules to add the following to the end of <code>confflags-dri</code>
--enable-xvmc \
--enable-gbm \
--enable-vdpau \
--enable-gallium-egl \
--enable-gallium-gbm \
--with-llvm-shared-libs \
--with-gallium-drivers="r300,r600,radeonsi,swrast"

Add under <code># Copy the hardlinked *_dri.so correctly.</code> in the <code>binary-arch</code> target just before the <code>dh_install -s --fail-missing</code> line:
mv debian/tmp/dri/usr/lib/${DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH}/libXvMCr600.so* \
debian/libgl1-mesa-dri/usr/lib/${DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH}/

dpkg-buildpackage
sudo dpkg -i libegl1-mesa_10.2.1-2_amd64.deb libegl1-mesa-dev_10.2.1-2_amd64.deb libegl1-mesa-drivers_10.2.1-2_amd64.deb libgbm1_10.2.1-2_amd64.deb libgbm-dev_10.2.1-2_amd64.deb libgl1-mesa-dev_10.2.1-2_amd64.deb libgl1-mesa-dri_10.2.1-2_amd64.deb libgl1-mesa-glx_10.2.1-2_amd64.deb libglapi-mesa_10.2.1-2_amd64.deb libgles1-mesa_10.2.1-2_amd64.deb libgles1-mesa-dev_10.2.1-2_amd64.deb libgles2-mesa_10.2.1-2_amd64.deb libgles2-mesa-dev_10.2.1-2_amd64.deb libopenvg1-mesa_10.2.1-2_amd64.deb libopenvg1-mesa-dev_10.2.1-2_amd64.deb libosmesa6_10.2.1-2_amd64.deb libosmesa6-dev_10.2.1-2_amd64.deb libwayland-egl1-mesa_10.2.1-2_amd64.deb libxatracker2_10.2.1-2_amd64.deb libxatracker-dev_10.2.1-2_amd64.deb mesa-common-dev_10.2.1-2_amd64.deb mesa-vdpau-drivers_10.2.1-2_amd64.deb
