The ATI driver and fbdev have zero GL acceleration, it's all going
to be done in software. Getting 44 frames per second with zero
hardware acceleration is perfectly acceptable.

You have a sb1000 with a faster cpu than even I do.
I use my sb1000 for all of my development, it is easily the fastest

course.
