I was interested in 3D desktop of XGL, but my video has not been supported till now... 
This is the info of my card:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc M22 [Radeon Mobility M300]

So, is there a hope for me to use XGL in future???

It's only thing we have :) My card is ATI Mobility X700 -- as far as I know, 
it must be supported. But... I have a lot of problems with fglrx => 
x+composite+aiglx doesn't work, and xgl behaves very strange.

yes...
when I do it myself with the HOWTOs of gentoo-wiki,
xgl didn't work...
i could see the box but it is black, i can do nothing instead of turning it
over and over...

It works on that video card on Ubuntu using the radeon driver, so it can 
be done.

It is unlikely to work with the fglrx driver as of 8.30.x - on my 
machine this driver completely freaks out when I use the xorg composite 
extension.

Be patient, wait, it will eventually be supported.

My Mobility X700 works quite well with opensource drivers included with xorg 
and AIGLX (never tried XGL, AIGLX is too simple to set up ;) ). Specifically, 
I tried it with x11-base/xorg-server-1.1.99.903-r1, media-libs/mesa-6.5.2, 
x11-libs/libdrm-2.3.0 and x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati-6.6.3.
But I still prefer using my i915, even though it's slower and uses shared 
memory, since x700 tends to have hiccups on heavy disk IO and uses more power 
(== shorter battery life).
