glxgears seems to be running...much slower than others in the form
(i expanded the window after the first 5 seconds to the whole screen) 

17:24:23 [~] $ glxgears 
766 frames in 6.0 seconds = 180.000 FPS
112 frames in 5.0 seconds = 22.400 FPS
1 frames in 5.0 seconds =  0.200 FPS
150 frames in 9.0 seconds = 16.667 FPS

when i try to test a screensaver:
"root windows visual  3x0d does not support the GLX extention"
however it runs in the preview windows (smaller than glxgears, at 14FPS)

yeah, i have no clue whats going on
anyone know?

thanks in advance
will

Re: glxgears works, but xscreensaver doesn't

When you run glxgears, do you resize the window? If those are the framerates you get when you leave glxgears' window alone, you don't have hardware 3D support. I get around 700FPS with my GF2 MX-400. You should get at least that much.

Unfortunately, I don't have any experience with ATi in Linux so I don't really know what to do. Perhaps you could try X.org's built in "ati" module. I read it provides hardware acceleration.

A bus station is where a bus stops.
A train station is where a train stops.
On my desk I have a workstation.

Re: glxgears works, but xscreensaver doesn't

as always, thanks for the quick replys

i had not run fglrxconfig, i thought copying from the forum would work

i've now run fglrxconfig and xorg won't start with the config file created
something like FATAL: kernel can't load fglrx

but it worked with the config file i copied from the ati thread.. well didn't work, but didn't complain

i thought i "pacman -S ati-drivers-module-kernel26" to get the module (?)

Re: glxgears works, but xscreensaver doesn't

in above xorg

Option "XkbRules"   "xfree86"

does't work well in xorg :oops:

fixed that and X runs but FPS are still really low

xscreensaver works!! but it flashes like a strobe light and im sure would cause anyone to become epileptic if they were unfortunate enough to look at it for over a min.

X doesn't seem to be bothered by:

$ sudo modprobe fglrx

... but i am

what does "pacman -S ati-drivers-module-kernel26" do? (doesn't get the module?)
