Just to get an idea of your frame rate, run "glxgears" and let it run for 15 or 20 seconds. Every 5 seconds it will print out a framerate average for the last 5 seconds let it run at it's default size (about 300x300 pixles) and post the frame rate. [EMAIL PROTECTED] ernie $ glxgears 32762 frames in 5.0 seconds = 6552.400 FPS 32661 frames in 5.0 seconds = 6532.200 FPS 32804 frames in 5.0 seconds = 6560.800 FPS 32791 frames in 5.0 seconds = 6558.200 FPS 32796 frames in 5.0 seconds = 6559.200 FPS Also check AGP status. I have an nvidia GeForce4 and if I do: cat /proc/driver/nvidia/agp/status Status: Enabled Driver: NVIDIA AGP Rate: 4x Fast Writes: Enabled SBA: Enabled You should have something like this somewhere in /proc. Look around. See if AGP is enabled. Regards, Ernie 100% Microsoft and Intel free -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
