when loading X are you using the driver for your card and NOT the
framebuffer driver? The only limited experience I have with framebuffer
is on SuSE systems.. I had a SuSE 7.3 system a while back dual p2-233
with a Voodoo3 2000. It used framebuffer, and 3D acceleration was available
in X as well, Tuxracer, Tuxkart etc ran at amazing framerates(I was shocked
since it was only a 233mhz cpu), and with good quality, so it had to have
been full acceleration. GLTron and others worked good too.
wish I could help more, but since I don't use framebuffer support on any
of my debian systems(don't need it ..) I'm not sure what SuSE does(if
anything) to make it work(or maybe its the driver).
what card are you using and what kernel? and what driver in X? and
what kernel modules are you loading?
