At least for me (Radeon 9100) the binary drivers make FlightGear and some other 3D games playable - there's a difference of night and day in performance.

Um, no, you can update XFree86 with the drivers installed but some amount of additional twiddling is necessary if updating XFree86 or kernel. - Panu -
