I had exactly the same problem with a Radeon VE. It worked just fine
in flatland (except when you dragged a window. Then it drew garbage
across the screen until you stopped, but that was a separate problem).
Nothing I did could get it to do OpenGL. It never produced an error,
even with everything at maximum log spewage. On a modestly swift AMD
system, glxgears produced an insanely high number, but Quake III
gasped for half a frame per second. After many months of research, I
was able to solve the problem like so:
Section "Device"
Identifier "geforce"
Driver "nvidia"
VideoRam 65536
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
EndSection
Of course, this required some modification of the hardware
configuration. That's probably not the answer you're looking for
either. ^_^
