Working now, thanks a lot ! I get this:

[eric@atto:~]$ glxinfo |grep -i direct
*********************************WARN_ONCE*********************************
File r300_state.c function r300Enable line 456
TODO - double side stencil !
***************************************************************************
No ctx->FragmentProgram._Current!!
direct rendering: Yes

[eric@atto:~]$ [eric@atto:~]$ glxgears 
*********************************WARN_ONCE*********************************
File r300_state.c function r300Enable line 456
TODO - double side stencil !
***************************************************************************

*********************************WARN_ONCE*********************************
File r300_render.c function r300_get_num_verts line 188
user error: Need more than 2 vertices to draw primitive QS !

3902 frames in 5.0 seconds = 780.400 FPS
4430 frames in 5.0 seconds = 886.000 FPS
4433 frames in 5.0 seconds = 886.600 FPS

Is this a reasonable rate ?
