> glxgears is NOT a benchmark.
... but glxgears is an indication that you actually do have your video drivers set up correctly. If you are running on Mesa for example, glxgears will report something like 150FPS if you are lucky.... whereas if the full drivers are installed, glxgears will report some higher number (depending on the card) like 3000FPS... a number you cannot get (using the default glxgears windowsize) with the generic video drivers. I have had situations where a video driver was not being initialized correctly.. it was half way there. Without the driver I got around 100FPS with glxgears. With the driver misconfigured I got 700FPS. After much tinkering I was able to correct the misconfiguration and got around 2500 FPS. So what glxgears is not a full test, nor an accurate test. It visually proves a point that you could verify in lots of other geeky ways like checking your Xorg logs.
