That means that you haven't got the 3D accelerated driver working!

2 things to check:

1)Which  setting do you have in xorg.conf?
    David - you have it working; would you post your Device section.

2)Do you have too much of Mesa installed?
    Either uninstall, or disable LibMesaGL
Otherwise, it will default to software rendering when there is perfectly 
capable 3d hardware.


Hope that helps,

Richard
