Sounds like you're only getting software rendering? I've had it working
(accelerated) with both Chrome and Firefox, but I haven't tried it with
r600 hardware yet.

I think you still need an Xserver with pbuffer support (the one in
debian experimental should do) and you're probably better off with
really recent 3D driver - the 7.9 RC or straight from git.

(Resent since I missed to cc the list)
