Radeon 9500 Pro working on MDK9.1, but slow FPS


Hi all!!!

First of all, thanks a lot to all the people that helped me a lot withe their threats.

As in the thread, my Radeon 9500 is working with fglrx driver and is quite good, but playing RTCW i get more than half FPS than in winxp!!!!
I don't know if there's something wrong with the driver from Schneider page...but i read also to use fglrxgears or glxgears drivers. I put that on my XFree86-4 config file, and it says to me that that module is not loaded.

I'm just a bit angry for the fact that in filthy winxp i got more fps than in linux

I got a Sapphire Ati Radeon 9100 128MB (with a P4 2.4GHz and 512MB RAM) and the FPS are about 1000!!

You can try to use other driver, i.e. the radeon driver (http://dri.sourceforge.org) that are distribuited with Xfree 4.3.0 too (try man radeon)!!
Bye
