glxgears slow under 2.6, fast under 2.4

2004-10-07 Thread Ric Otte
Things are very slow for me under 2.6 kernels. Under 2.4.16 I was able to play tuxracer just fine, but under 2.6.6 things are so slow that it is unplayable (a second or so pause between command and action). I ran glxgears under 2.4.16 and got output like: 2430 frames in 5.0 seconds = 486.000

I recompiled the kernel, compiling in AGP_VIA directly and not as a module. This then turned on direct rendering when I booted up, and glxgears is about twice as fast: glxgears 1900 frames in 5.0 seconds = 380.000 FPS 2266 frames in 5.0 seconds = 453.200 FPS 2267 frames in 5.0
