[utah-glx-users] Offer to benchmark Utah-GLX beside DRI, same system

[Dale P. <DEP...@us...>]

Hello,

I'm in mid-migration to RedHat 7, and have it in a separate root
filesystem beside an old RedHat 6.2 install. The RH6.2 install also has
Utah-GLX running, built last Spring. RH7 is pretty well up, and when I'm
satisfied, RH6.2 comes off, and the space is given to Windows, so I can
install Star Trek Voyager: Elite Force, for my son.

In the short time remaining, I'd be happy to benchmark the two
side-by-side. I don't know if others have done this, and it's of no
value. But if you want it, I can produce. Unfortunately, my Utah-GLX
checkout comes from late April, built on May 4. Anything newer than
that, and I can install from an RPM. But this was built prior to the
source reorganization, and while we're painting downstairs I don't have
a heck of a lot of time to put into this.

But I forget how to run the q3test timedemo... I have version 1.08 of
the Linux code.

So if someone can tell me, I'll run it and post results.

By the way, on DIR, a K6-III @ 428 (95MHzx4.5) gets 443 fps on gears and
149 fps on gloss. I don't have Utah-GLX numbers on thos handy at the
moment, but those will be part of the post.
