Hi, it works for me. I have an ATI X1400 mobile chip, first sign is that my resolution is high and fonts are small in opera9,
I have to load graphics-3.8.10-tinycore; without it is no way, even if onboot.lst has Xorg-7.7-3d.tcz
Also I manualy loaded the missing depencency (I saw errors in /var/log/Xorg.0.log) like libffi.tcz and llvm-lib.tcz
Many thanks!
EDIT: it works even without libffi.tcz and llvm-lib.tcz loaded, it seems to be just checked for software rastelization
(EE) AIGLX error: dlopen of /usr/local/lib/dri/swrast_dri.so failed (libffi.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)
(EE) GLX: could not load software renderer
EDIT2: it works, but maybe I need the firmware also (from tc4) because in dmesg I saw:
[drm] Loading R500 Microcode
radeon_cp: Failed to load firmware "radeon/R520_cp.bin"
[drm:r100_cp_init] *ERROR* Failed to load firmware!
radeon 0000:01:00.0: failed initializing CP (-2).
radeon 0000:01:00.0: Disabling GPU acceleration

some extensions have old not updated dependencies, like xf86-video-modesetting.tcz and xf86-video-intel.tcz,
my app browser says they depend on graphics-3.0.21-tinycore.tcz ;)

After installing the xf86-video-ati.tcz drivers i did not see the ATI firmware get loaded. Usually the screen's resolution changes to 1900x1200 rather sitting at the lower resolution. Not sure if i needed to install the Xorg-7.7 first for that to work since i can't remember what i did before on previous versions of TC for it to work. I than installed Xorg-7.7 and tried getting back into the desktop, but the resolution is still vesa and not any higher. Either i did something wrong with the installation or the drivers aren't working.

That's because the apps browser defaults to the latest stable version of tc, but the deps are correct:
http://www.tinycorelinux.net/5.x/x86/tcz/xf86-video-modesetting.tcz.dep
--- Code: ---graphics-KERNEL.tcz
--- End code ---
http://www.tinycorelinux.net/5.x/x86/tcz/xf86-video-intel.tcz.dep
--- Code: ---graphics-KERNEL.tcz
--- End code ---

Could you try this and report back if it works:

You can check in /var/log/Xorg.0.log for details of which drivers get loaded.
