I've updated xorg following all relevant instructions by gentoo devs on an old laptop and when I run glxgears I get no graphic and pedestrian speeds:
$ glxgears 629 frames in 5.0 seconds = 125.622 FPS 629 frames in 5.0 seconds = 125.718 FPS 627 frames in 5.0 seconds = 125.377 FPS If I maximise the window, still no gears just a black terminal window and I get: 93 frames in 5.0 seconds = 18.474 FPS It's never been that bad before. I've noticed that emerge -uDv world pulled in xorg-drivers and it also emerged xf86-video-ati. I attach the list of the packages that were emerged today and my Xorg.0.log, just in case you see something amiss in there. Please ask if you need more info. PS. I have no xorg.conf, but can post the *.fdi files if needed. -- Regards, Mick
