350fps bump in glxgears with 2.6.31!

Yeah, at least as far as I can tell.

And the other 3 tests are ok?

Yep, it runs, but I found one visible glitch:

Did you try gl2benchmark?

[whizse]

Nice!

I was glad to find out that the GLSL support in the i965 driver is now capable of running (most of) the Lightsmark benchmark.

I just tried out 2.6.31-rc1 (with zen-sources patchset) and got ~1100fps in glxgears vs ~750fps with 2.6.30 on my 945GME and 1.6GHz Core 2.
I haven't run any real benchmarks yet, but openarena feels faster too. Great to see continuing performance improvements even on old hardware!
