I just assumed that when talking fps and games, that it is a 3D game that uses
OpenGL, sorry.

You are correct, the lack of direct rendering is the likely cause of the slow
down. Is there any later messages about it being disabled, also check
/var/log/messages for issues with AGP GART and the radeon DRI kernel module. I
assume that lsmod shows radeon and agpgart are both loaded.
