Hi, Disclaimer: I'm really new to Linux (I have some BSD/UNIX/Win/DOS/etc. knowledge). It's very possible that I'm missing/screwing up some really basic stuff. I have problems getting DRI and/or OpenGL applications to work properly. The current Google Earth beta is doggone slow and actually crashes Ubuntu. The Chromium game is unplayably, horribly slow. Glxgears looks fairly ok, but I'm told that its framerate is inordinately slow. I have two forum threads open on this issue: One at: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=262331 (where I've pretty much logged what I've done without getting a lot of responses). And another at: http://www.winischhofer.eu/sisforum/viewtopic.php?p=925 where a friendly poster referred me to this mailing list. Again, my problem is sub-par performance of OpenGL/DRI related applications. Is there anything I can do? I know these two forum threads are long -- maybe you don't even need to read through them, but maybe some among you have got a suggestion what I could do to better diagnose and/or fix my problem? I'd be very happy to hear from you! :) Thanks and regards, --ropers |

It's old and was never a speed demon to begin with. IIRC, GoogleEarth has problems on a lot of drivers so it may not be specific to your card. How do other apps like ppracer or gears work?
