Does gl ever works for you? I mean, do you get like 100-300 fps in
glxgears (software rendeding) or like 2000-5000?

If it does, then gl driver should work too.. You can increase
performance by using -vo gl:yuv=3.

If it doesn't, then you need to get hardware-accelerated gl rendering
first. In that case, rage3d.com's linux forum is the best place for
help.
