Direct rendering is enabled (as glxinfo returns) but the performance

e.g. quake 3 isn´t playable, neither are simple games like neverball
or tuxracer.
I´ve heard from other users as well as from tests that the performace
is well enough to play q3 (about 5fps),
while I get only about 5fps.
What could be the reason?

But this is strange since thay have a much simpler graphics as q3 has.
If q3 has a decent framerate these "home-made" games should work also.
My card is an AGP one, I don´t know whether it´s a 64-bit one or not.
Do you have any explanation for that?

5fps in Quake3 doesn't sound like hardware accelerated rendering.
What's the output of the following command:
glxinfo | grep direct
If it's "direct rendering: No", then you're getting software rendering.
That would explain why it's so slow. :) Of course, that doesn't
explain why you're getting software rendering, but it's a step.
Or are you now saying that Quake3 gets a reasonable framerate but the
other games get 5fps? If that's the case, then I'm not sure what the
problem might be.

Yes, glxgears says that direct rendering is enabled. The problem is
specific to other games<br>
