My system is old and is running a Nvidia GeForce FX5200 graphics card. I am getting glxgears numbers in the range of 325-350 fps. I know this is not a true benchmarking program, but it is allowing me to try different setups to see if I can increase the fps rate. I also have a benchmarking program called gtkperf and it takes that 64.64 seconds to run 100 iterations of the test. In Ubuntu 7.10 I got glxgears speeds of 1300-1350 fps and gtkperf running in 36 seconds with the same equipment.
I am not running compiz, so I know that's not the problem.
Any help you could provide would be appreciated.
My xorg.conf file looks like so:
Code:
terminator@terminator-desktop:~$ cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf
