I'm very aware that glxgears is not a graphical benchmark in any way you look at it, its just a took to verify that your 3d hardware accelleration is working properly.
Previously I had installed slackware, and in glxgears i was getting 15,000+ fps in the default window size, and now i just installed slackware once again, and updated to -current. After doing that, i ran glxgears and got a whopping 728fps at the default window size. Is this because a newer version of glxgears is more demanding? Or is my graphics card not properly setup? in my xorg.conf i have the driver set to "nvidia" and its pci express, so I don't have to setup fastwrites or agpgart or any of that annoying stuff. If you've got an idea of whats up, lemme know.
Thanks,
