It's definitely good, but slower 3d... Strange thing, firegl drivers are
really fast, when I tried accelerated X (www.xig.com), with their
drivers I've got 2000 fps in glxgears, while with xfree+fglrx I get
2600. Also I got problems configuring it. And they claim to have best
and fastest X-server ever, ha...
