There is a large difference between the reported FPS (frames per second) from glxgears depending on the X widow manager I am using. I use the console based login on my system and run 'startx' to get into XWindows. I have two users, both run at 1600x1200 (24-bit color depth):
User 1 -- Enlightenment -- glxgears FPS: 1800 User 2 -- Gnome -- glxgears FPS: 4800 I am using the 1.0-6629 version of Nvidia's display driver. Why is glxgears so much faster in Gnome? (I prefer enlightenment and want to know why it is slow.) (gnome-desktop-2.8.1, enlightenment-0.16.7.1) Thanks R -- [email protected] mailing list
