Unfortunately it doesn't work for me, only half way.
I have a dualseat machine with two separate
X servers/keyboards and mice.
Screen :0 is a Radeon 7000VE PCI,
screen :1 is a Radeon 9200SE AGP.
I use uptodate RawHide.

I tried to enable desktop effects on :1 and
although gnome-window-decorator is started
according to "ps", I get no window decoration.
Then I disabled it and enabled on :0 and the
acceleration works quite well.

But here's a bug: the screen is 1280x1024 and
the background picture is cut so only the left side
1024x1024 area is correct, the remaining stripe
on the right side gets black.

Starting xwininfo and clicking the root window
shows that its size became 1024x1024 somehow.
Disabling desktop effects the root window becomes
1280x1024 again.

Dragging wobbly windows all around works
on the whole screen, so 3D is definitely working.
The window dragging leaves traces on the
otherwise black right side.
