Don't know what causing tuxracer to not report FPS correctly, but I
think know what the problem with the Radeon is.
The XF86 version that comes with LM8 does not support DRI (Direct
Rendering Infrastructure) on the radeon. You will have to obtain a new
version of XF86 either from the DRI project (dri.sourceforge.net) or I
believe that XF86-4.1.0 includes radeon DRI support.
One gotcha is that you need agp support enabled in the kernel (either
through compile in, or module load) before the radeon driver is loaded
by XF86, or it won't work. Otherwise the installation instructions on
the DRI homepage worked fine for me.
Hope this helps.
