OK, in fairness, the frame rates are faster than the current two ati
versions (8.28.8 and 8.29.6) but not faster than what I used to get with
ati drivers, pre modular xorg. According to the ati forums, the new
versions are more CPU friendly, and hence leave all the 3D up to the
card, or something.
All I know is this:
glxgears:
ati-drivers 8.28.8 / 8.29.6 ~ 700 FPS
x11-drm-20060608 radeon ~ 1500 FPS
older x11 drivers ~ 400 FPS
older ati-drivers (pre 8.18.x) ~ 2600 FPS
this is on:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV350 [Mobility
Radeon 9600 M10]
And no comments about glxgears, I know it's not an accurate benchmark,
but these figures are reflected in general performance, screensavers,
games, etc, which I can't benchmark.
YMMV of course :)
