Hi Roman,
I just wanted to get that out of the way. Just because glxgears runs
doesn't mean that OpenGL is working and you actually have direct
rendering. Sorry I can't help more, since I've never gotten ATI cards to
work properly with Linux. Glad at least those work for you! ;-)
best,
d.

hi derek
as i mentioned in the original post, i *have* accelerated graphics on my
computer, so glxinfo tells me:
'direct rendering: Yes'
the problem i have in this specific case, that i suspect gem not to make
use of the hardware acceleration, for whatever reason. i don't know of
reliable way to check that yet, though (besides noticing that it is much
slower than i would expect).

Hi Roman,
Getting accelerated graphics from ATI cards on Linux has always been
problematic with or without GEM.
What does "glxinfo" (or "fgl_glxinfo"???) tell you? Look for the line
which says:
direct rendering:
which should tell you "Yes" or "No".
best,
d.
