The man page: (for an unknown version) http://linux.die.net/man/4/radeonhd Official page: http://www.x.org/wiki/radeonhd The gentoo wiki has some potentially useful info: (even for other distros) http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_DRI_with_ATi_Open-Source_Drivers (this is probably more relevant for the RV350...

The documentation for the R3xx series is relatively limited: http://developer.amd.com/documentation/guides/Pages/default.aspx#open_gpu (I see anyone it up in the time between me writing the reply and actually sending it...)
