The 7500, however uses the radeon driver (it's got r100 features). It's not that significant, really, I should have just said DRI up there. I was using an 8500 sample board. That 1151 fps sounds reasonable for a 7500, not knowing your processor. The one thing to do to speed things up is add Option "EnablePageFlip" "YES" to the Device section of your XF86Config. It has been working well for me, but there may be some correctness issues that have kept it from being default. I'll ask to see what's preventing it from being default. > It'll do as a benchmark figure, it can't be any more misleading > than most of them. No, it is definitely misleading, because of the incredibly small subset of all operations that it does, and the infrequency of the operations glxgears uses being used in other programs (particularly for something where speed actually matters). -- Eric Anholt eta@lclark.edu http://people.freebsd.org/~anholt/ anholt@FreeBSD.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
