Re: xorg 7, radeon mobility m6 and dri
Problem solved! It was indeed a mesa problem, since libgl1-mesa-dri wasn't installed (I did a regular etch installation that I dist-upgraded to sid). Once I installed it, glxinfo reports "direct rendering yes" and glxgears works beautifully giving me around 650 fps. Cpu load is about the same when playing movies though, so I guess it must be normal, given the parameters that you mentioned above.
Thanks a lot for this help, both of you!

That's odd, because the X log definately says everything is fine.

The DRI initialization in your X log looks good. It looks like everything is
fine in the X server at 16 bit. I guess Florian might be right. It could be
a problem with the mesa libraries. I'm using the 6.5 version of the mesa
libraries from experimental, so I can't tell you if there is a problem with
the 6.4 version in sid or not.

No problem. I wish I could help more.
