Dri driver performance

egag · 12-29-2004, 07:08 PM

well...for radeon-cards below 9500 it just should work.
( might need some info from that dri-site...)

btw. : to display framerates in tuxracer, you can edit a file in " ~/.tuxracer/ " dir. to set options.

Which file is to edit you said?
Here all of them
slackerlx@Slackware:/usr/share/tuxracer$ ls
README fonts sounds tux.tcl tuxracer_init.tcl
courses music textures tuxracer.png
slackerlx@Slackware:/usr/share/tuxracer$
I believe you meant to edit tuxracer_init.tcl
I looked inside. There is no option to edit ShowFramerate

egag · 12-29-2004, 07:30 PM

no , it's in your home-dir: /home/<you>/.tuxracer/options.
there's many nice options.

Thanx. Found it

SlackerLX · 12-29-2004, 10:17 PM

Hey egag!
I edited options file under /.tuxracer

Code:

# display_fps
#
# Set this to true to display the current framerate in Hz.
#
set display_fps true

and here is the shot

Funny, isn't it? it sais infinite...

I also edited initial post by adding screenshot ot testing because I had some more people making comments of credibility

egag · 12-30-2004, 06:35 AM

that sure is a funny thing.
i think your pc is making an error with calculation of the fps-value with glx-app.'s.

that could be a ( mal-)function in the open-gl library ? ( don't know )

Whether malfunction or not GL flyes like hell I tell you!
Or should I put it: "Let this malfunction be that way than the other!"

Or if you want:
"...-Masterchief, we have malfunction of software on torpedo deck. It autotargeted 5 enemy targets and destroyed them with direct hit, sir...
-That's not malfunction, son! That's called victory! Very good, sailor, carry on, I'll report it to admiral myself...."

And again I must emphasize my point here. I posted that report of mine not to be judged for credibility but to share my experience.
Thank you and yes, Happy New Year, egag

If you need more information on that please visit the initial post which I edited with some shots http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...58#post1376058

egag · 12-30-2004, 11:32 AM

well....
you are number-one when it comes to frame-rates ( 14000 + ) with glxgears.
( nobody has that , correct me if i'm wrong )

but the fps-value is not stable( from 14000 to 1200 ) so:
could this be a faulty clockchip on that pc ?

SlackerLX · 12-30-2004, 11:38 AM

Negative

it was me opening full screen and unmaximazing it again

egag · 12-30-2004, 12:00 PM

my mind really has to get used to such frame-rates.......

btw: could you try something:

my framerate ( 9200se ) got up from 550 to 750
when i put ' Option "EnablePageFlip" "on" ' in the device-section.
( maybe it'll boost fps to new hights....

)

SlackerLX · 12-30-2004, 12:09 PM

I think with me it reduced

slackerlx@Slackware:~$ glxgears
5280 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1056.000 FPS
6546 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1309.200 FPS
6573 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1314.600 FPS
6547 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1309.400 FPS
6569 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1313.800 FPS
6550 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1310.000 FPS
6569 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1313.800 FPS
6548 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1309.600 FPS
6472 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1294.400 FPS
Broken pipe
slackerlx@Slackware:~$

SlackerLX · 12-30-2004, 12:11 PM

Hmmmm...
But setting this option "on" sure made everything a bit sharper.

egag · 12-30-2004, 12:16 PM

are those values for the standard-window or full-screen ?
