Wow, thanks for all the replies! So, in any case... direct rendering was indeed working, it glinfo reporting everything okay. Anyways, in a last ditch attempt to improve my situation, I ended up destroying my xorg, so I had to recompile (I use gentoo and didn't have a bin package). I upgraded to xorg 6.8.2, the latest gentoo stable, while I was at it. And magically: it worked, even though my frame rate in glxgears is only up to 750. I'm now where I remember being a few years ago, which is great. San Fran looks beautiful (much better than before!). Now I'm going to try to tweak to improve my fps....
