Radeon 7500 on R40


Hi

I am using MDK 10.0 on Thinkpad R40. The XFree version is 4.3.99.12 (DRI-TRUNK), i have got the latest radeon modules and installed them from http://dri.sourceforge.net. My graphics card is ATI Radeon 7500, but the dmesg gives me
[drm] Initialized radeon 1.10.0 20020828 on minor 0: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon Mobility M6 LY

shouldn't it be M7 ?

the dmesg | grep agp returns

agpgart: Detected an Intel 855PM Chipset.
agpgart: Maximum main memory to use for agp memory: 439M
agpgart: AGP aperture is 256M @ 0xd0000000

The glx info gives following output

disabling TCL support
Direct Rendering : Yes
...
OpenGL vendor string: Tungsten Graphics, Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI Radeon 20030328 AGP 1x x86/MMX/SSE2 NO-TCL
OpenGL version string: 1.2 Mesa 6.1

I am unable to get more than 30 FPS on glxgears full screen. Is it the problem with because of NO-TCL support?

How can I get higher FPS rates? Quake III is a bit jerky with these settings :-(

Thanks
~A
