even after upgrading to testing/xorg I get slow glxgears

My glxgears is stuck at 286 even after upgrading my xorg to the version in testing.  I have a i915 chipset and was getting > 1000fps using Ubuntu breezy colony 1.  Should I post my xorg.conf file or is there something obvious I may be missing as to why my frame rate is so bad?

FYI xorg.conf is set to use the i810 driver which should be correct.

I have same chipset and I'm getting ~580fps.
Are you in video group?
Have you enabled dri?
Maybe posting your xorg.conf would help.

hah I have teh same graphic card. I assume you need to load the models for i915 (I compiled my own kernel). You need to uncomment dri and glxinfo I think that what its called in xorg.conf

Here is my xorg.conf

I believe I have enabled dri (see xorg.conf above)... I was not in the video group, but I added myself just now, killed X, logged out, and logged back in but still have the same slow frame rate.
