Looking at the output of ldd on `which glxgear` and checking their
creation times showed that they are all what I'd expect. Also
/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/{dri|drivers|extensions} also have the creation
time I'd expect. Is there anything I should be looking for that I've
missed?

One thing I noticed is that I did not have EnablePageFlip set to true
in my X config file. Setting this raised the fps to 660. Is there any
reason why this isn't the default?

That was with 3 xterms (2 of which were doing nothing, one running
glxgears) & xemacs with no files loaded. Window manager was afterstep.
So little 2D activity.

True, but it seems an easy way just to compare 'like' systems.

Now that I've enable the page flipping, 'Emilia pinball' is now
playable in a window size 1024x768 which it wasn't before. 

bzflag plays well, but I haven't figure out yet how to make it give an
fps.

Crystal space's walktest instantly dies with a

walktest: t_imm_api.c:316: _tnl_end: Assertion `ctx->Driver.NeedFlush & 0x1' failed.

It didn't used to before I used the TCL branch (now also main) branch.
