Do you have DRI enabled?  I pretty much had given up on Radeon hw
accelleration, because if failed for me in the same manner on both x86
and ia64.  Perhaps things have improved in the meantime?

Hardware-accellerated OpenGL did work fine for me with Nvidia until
the recent glibc upgrade forced me to turn it off for now.  I hadn't
tried FlightGear though.

You mean you can't use gdb to attach to the CPU-hogging processes?  My
guess would be that the server and the app get stuck trying to acquire
a lock, which is incidentally an area that the Radeon DRI driver had
problems with in the past.
