fbdev is the generic framebuffer driver, which is supposed to work on 
any video card. As such it is not accelerated.

If you want acceleration, you'll have to switch to another driver, 
specifically for your video card (ATI Rage 128 Mobility according to 
Mark's original mail). But since I don't have a Pismo, I can't tell you 
which driver that would be, and even if it is supported.
