So, all seems to be configured correctly and direct rendering works...

Here I don't have a clue. Is it a PCIE or AGB card you are using? On my
laptop the r300 driver is used but I have no access to ABAQUS. In the
Xorg configuration file /etc/X11/xorg.conf my device section looks like this

Section "Device"
  Identifier  "ATI Mobility FireGL V3100"
  Driver      "ati"
  Option      "EnableDepthMoves"
  Option      "EnablePageFlip"
  Option      "DynamicClocks"
EndSection

Maybe you find some hints in the log file /var/log/Xorg.0.log ?
