I assume you mean running glxgears in its default size window (which
appears to be 300x300). On my Radeon 9200 (with 128M DDR SDRAM) with
xorg-x11-6.7.0-11 (FC2 system) at 1152x864 and 24 bit color depth, I get
2182 fps. The only change from the default that I have done is to add:
Option "AGPMode" "4"
Option "AGPFastWrite" "on"
Option "EnablePageFlip" "on"
in my Device section in /etc/X11/xorg.conf (I only do 4x AGP because my
mboard is too old to support 8x).
This is an OEM board that I picked up cheap from an on-line place last
spring. It has VGA, S-Video/composite, and DVI outputs; I'm looking
forward to the new version of xorg-x11 that I think is going to have
direct rendering enabled in dual-head mode.

I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
