Fabrice> Wow it works, and it's damn fast!

Fabrice> glxgears gives these results :

That is a significant improvement over the 7500 M7 LW which gives:

[default size]
4293 frames in 5.0 seconds = 858.600 FPS
4626 frames in 5.0 seconds = 925.200 FPS
4723 frames in 5.0 seconds = 944.600 FPS
4703 frames in 5.0 seconds = 940.600 FPS
4722 frames in 5.0 seconds = 944.400 FPS
3048 frames in 5.0 seconds = 609.600 FPS

[1024x768]
640 frames in 5.0 seconds = 128.000 FPS
643 frames in 5.0 seconds = 128.600 FPS
652 frames in 5.0 seconds = 130.400 FPS
644 frames in 5.0 seconds = 128.800 FPS

[1600x1200]
302 frames in 5.0 seconds = 60.400 FPS
304 frames in 5.0 seconds = 60.800 FPS

I wonder how much is due to the 7800 (is that mobile or desktop?)
being faster than the 7500m, and how much is due to the different
driver?
