I'm currently testing a fitlet-XA10-LAN Barebone with ubuntu 14.04.2 x64. Everything seems to work just fine, but I cannot get 3d acceleration to work. "lspci -v" says the box has a

This happens when my /etc/X11/xorg.conf does not exist, or also when I use "amdconfig --initial" to make it look like this:

Interestingly, aticonfig/amdconfig detect the card as an R6.

I have already tried older versions of fglrx, I tried just installing fglrx or fglrx-updates packages in ubuntu, I tried building ubuntu packages using the AMD installer. Its always the same problem. Looking at the list of supported cards in the newest AMD release, R3 seems to be present.
I did find this page on phoronix, where it seems he used X Server 1.15.1 with fglrx 13.35.5 to make it work. But I have xorg 1.16 and am not sure how to downgrade it in order to try.
What am I missing, what else can I try??
Thanks!
