I'm using an ATI Radeon 9200SE here and glxinfo shows:
direct rendering: Yes
I'm running the latest Debian Sid. For a long time I couldn't get more
than about 14fps in ppracer, but I see I'm now getting ~77fps. (It used
to be about 110fps in Xfree86, but it looks really good and has more
detail with the 77fps now, so I can't complain.)

I see a lot of stuff in dmesg about agp on mine. Run lsmod to make sure
you have both agpgart and the appropriate agp driver for your mobo
chipset installed. (I have an nForce2 chipset, so I use the nvidia_agp
driver.)
You might also attach your xorg.conf file to your next e-mail.
HTH,
