I've been wondering about ATI acceleration lately. A Compaq/HP mini Tower I just got has an ATI Radeon 3100 (or a HD 3100, if you prefer the spec sheet over lspci). I wasn't having much luck with the open source driver to see video on the screen at all. Finally got the proprietary one installed and configured properly ( i think). I don't really know how to "evaluate" how well the acceleration is working. flgrx_gears silliness gives ~300 fps over a few minutes. I've got no idea what it is actually supposed to be. But some other yoker at least has similar: <http://global.phoronix-test-suite.com/?k=profile&u=pete-2286-21397-9179> Doesn't seem much better (or worse) than intell integrated graphics, other than setup and actually getting a driver to work. ------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from this list, please email [email protected] & you will be removed.Yahoo!
