Actually the results using dri is worse than the results without dri in terms of frame rates. Without dri I get something like 250 FPS. With dri I get something like 228 FPS. The great difference though is when looking at the X cpu usage. glxgears uses around 0.5 % with or without dri. But without dri X uses 92% of the cpu resources. With dri X uses between 0.5 and 1% cpu. So obviously dri is preferable... ;) Listed the output below if anyone is interested. ~$ glxinfo | grep dir direct rendering: No OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect ~$ glxgears 792 frames in 5.0 seconds = 158.400 FPS 1945 frames in 5.0 seconds = 389.000 FPS 1847 frames in 5.0 seconds = 369.400 FPS 1265 frames in 5.0 seconds = 253.000 FPS 1138 frames in 5.0 seconds = 227.600 FPS 1139 frames in 5.0 seconds = 227.800 FPS 1265 frames in 5.0 seconds = 253.000 FPS 1138 frames in 5.0 seconds = 227.600 FPS 1139 frames in 5.0 seconds = 227.800 FPS 1265 frames in 5.0 seconds = 253.000 FPS 1265 frames in 5.0 seconds = 253.000 FPS 1265 frames in 5.0 seconds = 253.000 FPS 1265 frames in 5.0 seconds = 253.000 FPS 1265 frames in 5.0 seconds = 253.000 FPS 1265 frames in 5.0 seconds = 253.000 FPS 1138 frames in 5.0 seconds = 227.600 FPS X usage ~92% ~$ glxinfo | grep dir direct rendering: Yes ~$ glxgears 1035 frames in 5.0 seconds = 207.000 FPS 1162 frames in 5.0 seconds = 232.400 FPS 1155 frames in 5.0 seconds = 231.000 FPS 1143 frames in 5.0 seconds = 228.600 FPS 844 frames in 5.0 seconds = 168.800 FPS 1145 frames in 5.0 seconds = 229.000 FPS 1135 frames in 5.0 seconds = 227.000 FPS 1164 frames in 5.0 seconds = 232.800 FPS 1144 frames in 5.0 seconds = 228.800 FPS 627 frames in 5.0 seconds = 125.400 FPS 1048 frames in 5.0 seconds = 209.600 FPS 1148 frames in 5.0 seconds = 229.600 FPS 1141 frames in 5.0 seconds = 228.200 FPS 1057 frames in 5.0 seconds = 211.400 FPS 1077 frames in 5.0 seconds = 215.400 FPS 1137 frames in 5.0 seconds = 227.400 FPS X usage: 0.5-1% -- Bo Andresen -- [email protected] mailing list
