Flightgear is useless under the new drivers.

Yes, I have tried this now on an X850XT, and it gets maybe 0.4fps. I have
also tried it on my 9250, and that gets around 30fps with the default
settings (and in 1600x1200 full screen). With the X850XT the r300
subdriver warns about supporting some feature only in software; I guess
that's the reason for the slowdown (the 9250 uses the R200 subdriver).

For R300, it's a good idea to use driconf to switch on the "disable
low-impact fallbacks" option (if you can). There's an image at
http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/ATIRadeon which shows a few other settings,
coincidentally for use with flightgear (though the top one's hidden).

Maybe that problem is fixed in a newer version; I'm using the versions
included with Debian Etch (Mesa DRI R300 20060815 TCL; for the 9250 the DRI
driver is Mesa DRI R200 20060602 AGP 4x TCL),

I get that same R300 string here, despite the fact that what I'm using is
recent testing/unstable. (
