Chris do an ls -l /usr/lib/libGL* I suspect you will find that the
OpenGL lib you are linked to Mesa's version. Meaning no hardware
acceleration. I thought the new ATI laptop chips were called the Radeon
Mobility 9000 series.The Rage64 is a really old card, I could be wrong.
I keep hearing that there are high performance drivers for ATI cards on
Linux but I have never seen them. In general the ATI drivers for Linux
do stink. Although I could be eating those words because I see know that
ATI does have Linux drivers for all their cards on the website.
