How to check if 3d acceleration is enabled?

[skywarp04]

I have fglx driver installed for my Radeon 9700 Pro card, but how do I check that 3d acceleration is working? It doesn't seem like it is, because some of the screen savers seem like they require 3d acceleration to run decently, but they still run slow.

glxinfo | grep direct

should get you

direct rendering: Yes

if it's working, No if it's not.

glxgears should also do.

Did that, says Direct Rendering = No and glxgears only shows about 300 fps. I have been told it should be over 1000 if 3d acceleration is enabled. Where do I start?

You should start by searching the forums.
