In a term, try glxinfo - it'll tell you whether or not hardware rendering is supported. You can also try glxgears - it'll give you a frame rate. Write back if you're not sure of the results. I missed the beginning of the thread, but maybe try XFree86.org to see if they have a driver for your chipset that supports GL if the results are negative - upgrading X to 4.2 from Branden's site (or one of the mirrors) might help if that's the case. The other things are to make sure you have DRI enabled in your XF86Config-4, DRM in the kernel, and the module agpgart loaded - they all make a huge performance difference. Sorry if I'm repeating stuff you've already covered, and HTH.
