problems on gentoo HELP please

This is driving me crazy please help I have an ati radeon xpress 200M and am running gentoo have never needed to post on a forum before but I have been googleing for weeks and I need some serious help.
The problem is this I am trying to get my 3d accelleration to work properly and right now I have an FPS of around 400 according to glxgears although I am using the open source drivers should it realy be this low? I have tried mucking about with dri and drm but it hasn't realy helped.
here is my xorg.conf

Try installing the proprietary ATI fglrx graphics driver for your card, here.

Right about that I have heard that there is a problem with them the latest ones known to work on gentoo (I have heard) is some version two or three versions behind the ones ati say work with my card but I don't know and you would need to downgrade the xserver. I don't know if this helps but I remember now on the official gentoo guide it said I should add the moudule name for my card to modules autoload.d however modules.autoload.d didn't exist so I created it and added agpgart but I didn't know what it meant by the module name of my card is that important. One more thing eselect opengl set ati doesn't work but I think that is just for the propriety drivers.

I have checked on the link you gave me and 8.11 (the first to support xorg 7.4) dropped support for my card so I am a bit stuck.

Why do you think that there's a problem? Do you experience any problems running 3d applications at all?

Mind that glxgears IS NOT a benchmark, and its numbers are not relevant at all. It's just a quick way to check that drm is working, nothing else. According to the info you supplied, I fail to see any problem.

I have a radeon x850 and something about the open source drivers recently broke. I get graphical glitches and opengl/qt apps crash sometimes. Its been several months.

Personally I would just give up on 3d in linux. Its always flaky. Using the proprietary ATI drivers might also work. Or maybe in a few years it will be fixed to work like it did.

ok thanks for helping it's just that before when I was running ubuntu I was getting 600-700 fps and things were working but maybe I was using propriety drivers and they did support the xserver and my card I guess I could try to downgrade the xserver is that safe?

I am no specialist in eye candy, but I think that xgl is just an experimental and now deprecated thing. All the current drivers should support the necessary stuff to run on a standard X server, and so does compiz if that's what you want. AIGLX was long ago ported into the standard X server, so anything regarding setting AIGLX as an independent thing is clearly outdated and is not applicable anymore. XGL was meant to achieve via cpu (software rendering) the 3d desktop stuff, when cards and/or driver couldn't do it themselves, so there's no way that it will perform better.

That's my understanding though.

But really, what's the real issue? And forget about glxgears. As I asked above: are you experiencing any problem in your desktop or 3d apps at all or is just the glxgears stuff which worries you?

well I haven't realy had any proplems exept that, regardless of glxgears, I am still getting extremly bad resullts whenn running anything using opengl such as when I try to run kwin's desktop cube or use wobbly windows I can hardly render it and I used to with the same laptop be able to render things like this a couple of months ago using old hrdware but I gues I will just have to use ubuntu (which I don't realy want to use) 8.04 but I like to stay up to date to keep up with hardware and the only thing thats bugging me is that I love eye candy because you can't do it as cooly on windows but maybe the open-source drivers will get better hopefully do you have any advice on what to do.
