Re: [utah-glx-users] Quake 3 Bechmarks on Linuxgames

[Liam D. <lia...@ho...>]

Hi,
	I ran some benchmarks with the following result with the ATI card:
Normal setting:
As user - 11.7fps
as root - 15.4fps
Fast Setting:
as root - 23.8fps
Fastest  Setting:
as root - 30.4fps(!!)
	The only problem is that for fast and fastest setting
fullscreen mode doesn't work. Is this how it is supposed to be ?This
time I started quake using xinit, and I think that helped too.
Cheers.
