Kernel is hand made 2.6.3 with epia patch and probably your drm module. I upgraded to XFree-4.4.0 with unichrome r15 source from CVS. make world, make install. Rebuilt against unichrome r16 so that I could build Thomas' XvMC. rebooted. The XvMC wouldn't load because of drm version miss match. Fired up glxgears and noticed something different... 590 something fps! I then turned on xine DVB (BBC DVB-S live stream) and was still getting 290 fps!!! With normal apps running (evolution, mozilla...) I was getting a steady 545 fps. When I finally found the drm stuff and got XvMC loading glxgears went back to "normal" levels so I guessed that the XvMC overhead explained the difference. Hope that helps.
