To use hardware acceleration, you would have to use Mesa-4 branch of DRI project, which is not yet integrated into official (and therefore Cooker) X. So hardware acceleration still uses Mesa 3.4.2, on which XFree 4.2.0 is based upon...
Perhaps you had a broken Mesa installation before ? Anyway, it's always great to have great performance (I'm looking forward to Mesa-4 branch of DRI once it is completed) Michal
