Tweaking xorg for better game performance??
I went ahead and installed Debian Lenny on my desktop.Been using it on my laptop for a while.Im trying to get it to play some of the first person shooter Linux games like Nexius,Sauberaten,Open Arena..etc..
Pc isnt latest.Its got a Athlon Xp clocked at 2ghx,a gig of memory and a Ati 9800 Pro.On windows it plays all the games I mention nicely.But with the fglrx drivers it seems its a hit or miss on the games.Sauberaten plays nicely but no where near the frame rates I get on windows.Nexius is about same,faster on windows.And Open arena?Its like a slide show at times.With missing walls and textures and frame rates around 10-15.It's unplayable.I have Quake 3 Arena and on this pc it's always nailing it around 200 fps..And Open Arena is based on the source code for that game.
Any tweaks I can do to xorg.conf to get better performance??Hers a copy of my xorg.conf now..
