After being burned by the ATI WWW site and their driver, I would look at

avoid ATI video cards for now. This puts a limit on notebooks but that
is just life.
Buyer beware.

Yes, i'd appreciate user feedback. As i mentioned, the latest driver lists
Mobility X300 as a supported graphics card. Also, the only 3D issues
listed on the site are the following:
1. if "force multi-sample visuals" option enabled in fglrxconfig
2. POSIX Shared Memory is disabled
It appears both of these issues can be easily avoided. But again, i'd
appreciate any feedback from actual users of X300 on laptops.
I think there is a good chance that Mobility X300 support in the
proprietary driver includes 3D, and hardware acceletation:
