I just upgraded my graphics card to something faster... (well as fast as you can go with only PCI-X slots)
I noticed when in OpenBox glxgears get's about 1300 FPS and the HELI-X simulator about 40 FPS.
But if in compiz I get 400 FPS in glxgears and 6 FPS in HELI-X.
Is there something I've configured wrong? Why would compiz FPS go down so much, should glxgears be about the same?
I have an ATI Radeon x1300 graphic card on an Intel platform.Since the last reinstall my Debian Squeeze system shows very poor performance in glxgears,only 80-90 FPS. Last time I had a problem the kms setting in the kernel. I disabled the modding setting in GRUB and then glxgears showed about 900-1300 FPS. Now,the problem is back, even though I made the same setting in the boot loader.

I installed an hp 1300 AIO printer on Ubuntu 8.10. The printer copies fine, so I know that it has ink. However, whenever I print the printer will look like it is printing but will not actually put any ink on the page. Is there anything I can do to fix this? I ran sudo hp-check -r and these errors came up---

I recently upgraded my old Hauppauge TV Card (BT878) with a HVR-1300. Whilst the older card worked OK, I am struggling to get the new card to work, despite it seemingly having installed OK in YaST.

Installed an HP PSC 1300 all in one printer, system sees it, installs it without any trouble, as soon as I try to print it just hangs there in pending till it defaults and I get communication error 5012, also the message /usr/lib/cups/backend/ hp failed.
I have removed and re-installed the printer and the latest version of hplip more than once but am getting nowhere, the printer and cable work fine when attached to my laptop which is running xp until i learn more about Linux.

View 4 Replies View RelatedThe following is my system:

On GLXGears, I only get 12k fps. This seems very low, especially considering the fact that my Acer Aspire One laptop gets 1-5k scores on a POS Intel GMA 950.
My exercise below is to check if glxgears crashes xorg of CentOS5.4 with Intel GM965 Chipset. Apparently I don't have luck in this case. Since the exercise failed, it means I will still stick to CentOS 5.2 (residing on a different partition) for a while, even though CentOS5.2 crashes glxgears too. After "yum upgrade" (done after moving all repos in /etc/yum.repos.d to elsewhere except CentOS-Base.repo and CentOS-Media.repo), I ran glxgears that consistently crashes CentOS5.2 xorg, an issue that upset me quite a bit.
During upgrade, I saw a line "grubby fatal error : unable to find a suitable template". I guess the my grub.conf is too confusing for the installer, but that is not big deal, I just used the kernel number 2.6.18-164 where it is applicable. Even this this new update, glxgears still crash the xorg (the screen froze and then a new login screen reappears). With this I am sure the 3D application might still crash the xorg from time to time. (I can still revert to CentOS5.2 with a tar file, but I am still thinking to just upgrade to Centos5.3 but I don't know how.)

I just installed Debian Squeeze a couple days ago and haven't had any problems so far except trying to get 3D acceleration to work with my Radeon 5770 card. When running glxgears, I get over 900 FPS and the gears are spinning great. When I try to run a 3D game like OpenArena, ScorchedEarth, or FlightGear, they are all so slow as to be unplayable. (extremely slow)
I've been trying to get this working for a while and had no luck.As per internet advice, I installed firmware-linux-free and firmware-linux-nonfree.
In glxinfo, it says "direct rendering: yes"
In my /var/log/Xorg.0.log file it says:
(WW) RADEON(0): Direct rendering disabled
(II) RADEON(0): Acceleration disabled
(WW) Falling back to old probe method for vesa

lgfxgears is the new minibenchmark for your graphics card. Its compatible with wide range of hardwares. The new glxgears alternative looks better, and speed depends on graphics card and driver's power. It compatible with linux, and windows. I would happy if peoples would poste here they results. i alreday have a few:
nVidia GeForce 9800+ 180 fps win
ATi Radeon 9800 pro 62 fps win
ATi Radeon 9800 pro 76 fps linux

In the terminal, I type glxgears and get a frozen window of the colored gears.

I've been struggling with this for months now and I've tried some many things, I've forgotten half of them!
Basically, 11.04 picks up my card fine using the open xorg driver. I've got compize desktop effects (wobbly windows) but I can't play any HD video as it stutters and is completely unwatchable.
So to do any video editing, I have to boot into my Windows 7 install where the performance is considerably better.
Now then, I once managed to get a glxgears frame rate of 11,000 before I broke my install and had to re-install. Now I can't get above 300fps
