This is the part you need to fix:
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect
If you can get it to use the radeonhd driver, even over standard GLX, it'll
be accelerated. DRM speeds things up a bit by allowing the application to
render directly through the kerner rather than sending rendering

It could be any number of things, from the glx module being turned off in
your xorg.conf, or the radeonhd driver not being loaded, or something else
entirely.
I know nothing about the tool you used to generate your xorg.conf and thus
don't know what it tends to do. Have you looked at the

Everyone I work with who uses the radeonhd drivers uses Gentoo.
I agree with Coleman's assessment - it was said earlier in this thread that
you'd likely need to upgrade your X server, it really is ancient, and likely
Mesa too.
The output shows that the radeonhd driver does support your card and

These days it's not hard at all. It has a nice installer.
Because Portage is more active than other package systems, people generally
hit more blockers/etc and need to resolve conflicts. There's a fairly
complete set of instructions on this through the Gentoo Docs project (a
wiki), but it takes
