Frame buffer drivers for ATI Rage Mobility P/M

Hi,

I am desperate now. I was suggested to try the command - glxgears -
which tells you the power of your graphics acceleration is. I was also
told I should expect a value of about 1000 otherwise I do not use the
graphics acceleration capabilities.
I got 105.
I installed ATI-drivers.
When I do: fglrxinfo - I get:
display: :0.0  screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: Mesa project: www.mesa3d.org
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect
OpenGL version string: 1.2 (1.5 Mesa 6.1)

I tried several drivers in /etc/X11/xorg.conf. The one that works best 
is "ati" but it realy is too slow. I know I get much better performance 
from this card when using Microsoft stuff.

Please help me set my machine to enable graphics
acceleration on this old timer card.

My machine:
HP omnibook 6000 PIII 700
Gentoo fully updated.
Kernel 2.4.26-gentoo-r9
X11 with xorg.

Thanks.
