thanks, I got it working - probably it was not needed to reinstall ati.12.4 driver and try to patch it for kernel 3.6.11.
I think finally the problem was misconfiguration in xorg.conf
Now I am using MATE-DESKTOP and both cards are crunching 935 Mhash/s together.
Unfortunately probably something went wrong - seems like overheating HDD controller causes to remount disks as read-only
Is this OK ?
