bad framerate with ATI Rage Fury/Xpert2000 Pro


Well I'm using linuxquestions.org/hcl/showproduct.php?product=541 This Video card with EvilEntity linux, and on mandrake I was getting 1200+fps with glxgears, but right now I'm getting 70-80fps

I have edited my XF86Config file to make sure it loads dbe and dri, and sets the mode for dri, but it still fails to load DRI.. Is there something I"m missing?

glxinfo output:

Do you know how can i change the OpenGL renderer from Mesa to Ati drivers ?? When i execute fgrlxinfo i become following output:
Code:
display: :0.0  screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: Mesa project: www.mesa3d.org 
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect 
OpenGL version string: 1.3 Mesa 4.0.4
Perhaps i do something wrong when installing the drivers. I cannot install them from the rpm directly because it tells me Segmentation fault. I convert the rpm to tgz and then do installpkg. After this i do sh make.sh and then sh make_install.sh but after this the driver doesnt load. I do modprobe fglrx and after reboot fglrxconfig.
