glxgears performance?

ryedunn · 04-02-2004, 04:55 PM

glxgears
300 frames in 5.0 seconds = 60.00 fps

fgl_glxgears
300 frames in 5.0 seconds = 60.00 fps

is this good or bad? I see people with numbers in the thousands??
I just installed a Radeon 9600SE with 128mb and the games seem to be running really well. but the numbers dont match up, in comparision.

That's weird.

You want to make sure you've got direct rendering, and it's working.

glxinfo | grep -i direct

Should give you what you want to see, which is:

Direct Rendering: Yes

--Shade

You could also have vert sync enabled, which means that it will only to a frame per vertical refresh, 60Hz sounds like the refresh of your monitor.

ryedunn · 04-02-2004, 05:56 PM

direct rendering is on, and how do I tell if vert refresh is enabled?

leonscape · 04-02-2004, 06:57 PM

/usr/X11R6/bin/fireglcontrol is the control module for your Graphics card, Turn VSYNC off is you wish to go above the vertical refresh of your monitor.

Its an executable not a file to edit, Sorry I didn't make myself clear

Just start a console login as root and type

/usr/X11R6/bin/fireglcontrol

This should start the config program. Not everthings a text file

ryedunn · 04-02-2004, 08:13 PM

hah.. I feel like a total moron....
oh well at least I can laugh at myself.

It did popup the control pannel but I did get a strange error
Session management error: Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed

and I only have 3 tabs information, dual screen and adjustment. Neither of which have that option of turning off the vert ref rate.

BTW thank you for all your help

leonscape · 04-02-2004, 08:23 PM

First do

xhost +

Make sure your root. Type

su -

Then enter your password. Now try

/usr/X11R6/bin/fireglcontrol

this should work.

ryedunn · 04-02-2004, 08:30 PM

Im sorry to put you through all this for something so simple but...

[root@empiricus ryedunn]# xhost +
access control disabled, clients can connect from any host
[root@empiricus ryedunn]# su -
[root@empiricus root]# /usr/X11R6/bin/fireglcontrol

no error, but I have the same window(ATI Raedon 9600 Control Pannel) with 3 tabs and neither has that option?

leonscape · 04-02-2004, 08:36 PM

Try fglrxconfig in a console, It might be under that configuration. ( I've got an Nvidia so Im flying blind

)

ryedunn · 04-02-2004, 08:51 PM

Is this what I need?

Do you want to synchronize buffer swaps
with the vertical sync signal (y/n)? [n]

leonscape · 04-02-2004, 08:53 PM

ryedunn · 04-02-2004, 09:12 PM
