I installed the binary matrox drivers on top of gentoo and XFree 4.2.0.. everything looks normal, accoring to glxinfo and XFree86.0.log, but tuxracer and all other games are painfully slow.

Does anybody have an idea what can be wrong ?

I used to have debian installed, and that worked just fine.

this is output from glxinfo :

I did load dri and glx and other stuff, so I really have no clue. I read the manuals on xfree.org and did some diagnostics, and I have a theory that X may not be compiled with SDL support, but I don't know what to do about it.

Can anyone help ?

Basically, if DRI is set up correctly, you shouldn't be getting mesa as a dependency - all the necessary mesa stuff's included in the DRI drivers for your card.

As for compiling X with SDL - make sure that sdl is in your USE variables in either /etc/make.defaults or /etc/make.conf, then try re-emerging libsdl and X.

ok, tried that - same thing
I thought about posting my Xfree log and XF86Config, but that takes up too much space. Can I attache the files to a post ?

Any other suggestions would be very helpful - thanks in advance :)

I suggest going to /usr/lib as root and doing
Code:
ln -sf /usr/lib/opengl/xfree/lib/libGL.so.1.2 libGL.so.1

which fixed my problems with an extremely slow Matrox G400Max. It appears that I, in my inexperience with Gentoo, managed to emerge some "alternative" MesaGL or OpenGL libraries from somewhere, but changing the symlink fixed it.
