Maybe it is still somehow using direct rendering?  Have you tried 
running 'LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=yes glxgears'?  For me that produces 
about 35 fps (fullscreen), whereas direct rendering gives 115 fps 
(fullscreen).  But fullscreen is not the normal way to compare fps 
in glxgears: always use the default window size.  Then indirect 
rendering produces 275 fps, and direct rendering 795 fps for me 
(KM400, Athlon 2800+).
