Speed depends on screen resolution and depth, desktop environment, other
programs running in the background and if tv-out is enabled or not.


Not in this case. It just depends on OpenGL HW acceleration working. My
guess is it isnt. There are lots of google resources for this.

It's quite big difference run glxgears in 320x200 and 1600x1200 and specially
if you have tv-out on the later enabled too. glxgears is really a poor tool.

I believe the OP had already mentioned the same xorg.conf or whatever
although I cant be sure.

I had loads of problems with the ATI driver and simply gave up with HW
after a while : it worked but was buggy and caused issues switching
between sessions :(
