Me too - but only since I installed the latest ATI driver.  Before that 
I was getting really good FPS rates.  Having said that, the gears still 
seemed to be going at the same speed, so I wonder if something in the 
new drivers is affecting the FPS output.

I found fgl_glxgears already installed, with the new drivers:

peter@linux:~> locate fgl_glxgears
/usr/X11R6/bin/fgl_glxgears
peter@linux:~> which fgl_glxgears
/usr/X11R6/bin/fgl_glxgears
peter@linux:~> fgl_glxgears
Using GLX_SGIX_pbuffer
2618 frames in 5.0 seconds = 523.600 FPS
2928 frames in 5.0 seconds = 585.600 FPS
3201 frames in 5.0 seconds = 640.200 FPS
3210 frames in 5.0 seconds = 642.000 FPS
3213 frames in 5.0 seconds = 642.600 FPS
3206 frames in 5.0 seconds = 641.200 FPS
3193 frames in 5.0 seconds = 638.600 FPS

Still not brilliant, but better than glxgears reports.

HTH
