Re: glxgears slow under 2.6, fast under 2.4: FIXED

[Ric Otte <ric@otte.ucsc.edu>]

I recompiled the kernel, compiling in AGP_VIA directly and not as a
module.  This then turned on direct rendering when I booted up, and
glxgears is about twice as fast:
    glxgears
    1900 frames in 5.0 seconds = 380.000 FPS
    2266 frames in 5.0 seconds = 453.200 FPS
    2267 frames in 5.0 seconds = 453.400 FPS
    2261 frames in 5.0 seconds = 452.200 FPS
Plus, I can now play tuxracer just fine.

I now wonder if I would have listed the agp_via module somehow in
/etc/modules if that would have helped, or if it doesn't work as a
module.

Thanks for all the help,

Ric
