Re: GLX Problems (sometimes)

[karrottop <karrottop@fuse.net>]

Here is what glxinfo reports. I am guessing, and I am not sure, that
direct rendering: no is not good.  I am using a Geforce 2 ti, and I have
been able to run games like Unreal Tournament and Tux racer at a decent
speed, and I get 7582 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1516.400 FPS.  So, I do
not really know what is going on.  Oddly when I had rs-fieldlines
(screensaver) running in the root window and Ximian Evolution running
when I typed glxinfo it crashed X and dropped me back to gdm. 
Unfortunately the ximian shell failed to initialize and I had to reboot.

Thanks,
Jason Self
