Created attachment 339621 [details] Radeon X550 Xorg.0.log my system behaves identically. glxgears works (though slowly) only if "nomodeset" is NOT specified. x86-64 system with all latest rawhide updates (15 April 2009) Radeon X550 PCI express.
To be more clear, other GL applications like screensavers are affected, too.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 11 development cycle. Changing version to '11'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
For current F11 w/updates including packages - kernel-2.6.30.5-43.fc11.i586 - mesa-*-7.6-0.1.fc11.i586 - xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.12.2-18.fc11.i586 - xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.6.3-4.fc11.i586 "glxgears" works as expected.
