The remaining problems are:

16 bit doesn't work neither with fbdev (colors completely off - does
aty128fb still use 15 bit in fact?) nor without (at least the grey tones
are right there - wrong endianness?)

Yes aty128fb still doesn't support 16 bit, you could run the r128 driver
without fbdev to get 16 bits, but the code to switch the framebuffer to do
byteswapping is missing so the colors will be wrong

Yep, that's the second thing I was referring to.

(easy to add though).

Where and how?

About performance: It's much better than software rendering (at least for
big windows) of course, however not too fast with lots of polygons. AGP
GART would definitely be a good thing I guess (Ben: hint, hint :)

Do you have any numbers from gears, glquake etc ??

The numbers are very varying and not too high yet. AGP GART should change
that.
