My computer is a ThinkPad X31 with Pentium-M 1.4G CPU and ATI Radeon

The frame rate for glxgears is 225 fps with rather
low CPU usage.
What I was told is that slow framerate on ATI cards in Linux is a driver
issue. About the only thing people like you and I can do is wait for a fix
from the DRI developers.
My ATI 9100 IGP gets 2500 frames in 5 sec / 518 FPS. That's with the
Linux Xorg drivers.
A friend of mine who has an ATI Mobility M9 in his machine gets over
6000 frames in 5 sec (over 1200fps) using the Linux ATI proprietary drivers.
The proprietary ATI driver, available from their website
http://www.ati.com works for just about every recent ATI card. The only
one it doesn't work for is (you guessed it) the 9100 IGP (there's a
little note about it in the middle of the release notes docs).
I suggest you go and get the ATI proprietary driver and install it. If
you need help with that I'm happy to offer advice; send me an off-list
message.
Cheers,
Josh
