The issue is purely with the XFree drivers.
Some of the XFree4 drivers don't have the acceleration that XFree3 did. In
fact XF4 doesn't even support my old ATI GPT (Mach64) in hi-res modes so I
drove downtown and bought a GeForce2.
Just an hour ago I found a version of the ATI driver that does support
accelerated DGA and now I get full screen acceleration on my laptop.

My NVidia cards have the same issue. I haven't tried the latest NV drivers
to know if they have proper DGA support yet or not.
