   It's prob'ly on your menus as 'Mesa gears', but a better way to run 
it is from a term.  just type 'gears'   That way you'll see the frames 
per second (fps) that your system is capable of in the term as gears 
spin in a window.  It's sort'a kind'a a benchmark and/or an indication 
if 3d acceleration is setup/workin.  It's about as good a BM as 
bogomips, but it will let you know if 3d is workin ;)  I get 120 fps 
with a old pci Voodoo3, I've heard newer Nvidia and ATI cards get 1000 
fps :)
