In a later try (probably after a reboot) I indeed got about 900 fps
windowed and 110 fps fullscreen.  In that same test stellarium and
neverball dropped to about 1.0 fps however.  Maybe something got
confused about sw/hw rendering?

I only tested it with my laptop panel, but I haven't seen anything strange
when switching to/from text mode.  I do notice that when starting stellarium
some windows which are 'behind' the stellarium window are getting redrawn before
the stellarium window is drawn.

I have this black window issue too sometimes, they might work again after
some magic.  Restarting the X server won't do the trick for me.  One time I
noticed that stellarium was still running as a background process,
killing it fixed
those black windows.
