> i just got a frame rate of 250 fps on gears. mamma mia! :-) Actually, that's kind of slow. I get more like 900 on my athlon 850/256MB RAM/Radeon 64 DDR VIVO. You might want to `ldd `which gears`` to make sure you are using the right GL libraries. I had this same problem and after fixing my GL libraries I went from 200 to 900. -nicole
