Both xf86-video-ati and xf86-video-radeonhd should work, though the latter
might work a bit better. It looks like your kernel is recent enough; it loads
the DRM code.

But AFAIK, 3D support for the R7XX chips (like the HD 3200, an RS780) is still
in development...

You seem to be using AIGLX. That could be part of the problem. Try disabling
it. 

Or try using XAA accelleration instead of EXA.
(Option "AccelMethod" "xaa" )
