[ltp] New Xorg ATI video drivers sloooow (in Fedora 10)

[Bill Green]

I'm seeing almost exactly the same performance (~58 fps) in glxgears on 
an x200 (intel 4500 graphics) on Debian sid with xorg, intel video 
driver, mesa, and libdrm from experimental (that's versions 7.4, 2.5.1, 
7.2, and 2.4.1, respectively) and kernel 2.6.27.10.
