ATI Rage XL is almost a decade old, and Mobility Radeon doesn't mean much unless you mean specifically the first one of those (M6?).
Anyway, I'd say GMA X3000 is ca. Radeon 9600 performance-wise, but feature-wise more like X800 or even X1800 (quite modern shaders supported) and also the shader performance is way faster than the ordinary fixed pipeline performance. Maybe this is not accurate comparison, but at least a lot closer than RageXL.
The Linux drivers at freedesktop.org seem to have 965-glsl branch, hopefully it'll be merged to Mesa HEAD soon so that the shaders are available on Linux, too.
