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.
/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.
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.
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?
