I am using a 32bit environment, and 32bit kernel. SMP is enabled in my
kernels, yes. I prefer to use 32bit for now until things mature a bit
more over on the 64 side.

This is how I had it setup, and working, just about 2 months ago. Both
cores do come up with this layout and my new 32bit layout. I would
prefer to stick to 32bit for now. I don't really think this is the
cause of the problem, because others I know with nearly the same
hardware have this working.

I am using their latest drivers. I run sid and I also have rdonald's
repository in my sources.list just in case there are newer ones out.

Yes, I have all settings to lowest, nearly every feature turned off.
Still, I get this horrible speed, which isn't even near to *half* the
speed I got in windows.. Friends have reported getting a framerate
near the speed of windows, but for some reason I cannot even achieve
half.

Yeah I am on that list also but I am discussing a 32bit kernel and
userland.
Thanks for your insight.
