Are you sure you get it with glxinfo?
Or with "cubemap", "texdown"+"b key"?

Read the list.
It was introduces with the Mesa-4.0.4 to 5.0/5.1 transition (Mesa CVS and 
DRI).

Due to your Radeon VE QL (no hardware TCL).

Uhhh, the kernel number changed something for you.
Very weird. Most of us get it with 2.4.19 and 2.4.20+/2.5.xx ;-)

You should run with MESA_NO_SSE=1 and get 3DNow!.
Shouldn't be much slower 'cause it is the same core engine and works for 
years.
