Confirmed.
On my Fujitsu-Siemens lifebook p7010 (intel 
855GM) the same enviroment (xorg 6.8.2 , 
dri-devel, module i915 in the kernel) let me have 
about 750 fps. Not so much but enough to play 
quake3 on this ultralow voltage centrino box.

Is there anyone here that can share it's 
xorg.conf to use something of the new accel features of the card.

Thanks...

P.s.
I tried also the patch for xorg 6.8.2 for using 
the i915 card but without any success to let it use the dri.
Someone is taking care of this iussue ? :-)

Happy New Year to everyone !!!
