Very low (0-2) fps in 3D games, using radeon 9800 pro
Hi. First I had problems with OpenGL & GLX, I couldn't play 3D games.
After getting past that problem I faced a new one: FPS 0-2 while running fluxbox, 0-3 without any WM, running games such as *cough* FreedroidRPG *cough* or Egoboo
I'm using Ati Radeon 9800 Pro, fglrx driver.
Help would be appreciated.

Yup. Same results using fglrxconfig.
Ah, got some errors too:
Code:
bash-2.05b# dmesg | tail

Sorry, don't know what to tell you, although it's weird that it says it found an nvidia chipset when it's an ATI you're using. I'm guessing that the nvidia chipset is an onboard video? ATI is in the AGP slot?
