Ok i do more research and 3d working now. This is what i find:

1) file /lib/firmware/radeon/R600_rlc.bin is missing from kernel26-firmware.

2) This file can only be loaded if you use kms late start
(http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ATI#Late_start).

3) To use early start
(http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ATI#Early_start) the file should be
included in initramfs ... but i really dont know how ...
