- 15:31 < AndrzejL> 01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon XPRESS 200M 5955 (PCIE)
- 15:32 < AndrzejL> I tried multiple options in xorg.conf and cannot get glxgears to
- give me more then 320 FPS
- 15:33 < AndrzejL> running PCLinuxOS 2010.12 with all the latest and greatest
- 15:33 < AndrzejL> DE is KDE4
- 15:33 < AndrzejL> in version 4.6.1 and kernel is
- 15:33 < AndrzejL> 2.6.37.3-pclos1.bfs
- 15:33 < AndrzejL> BFS stands for Bran F Scheduler by Con Kolivas
- 15:34 < AndrzejL> BFS stands for Brain F Scheduler by Con Kolivas
- 15:34 < AndrzejL> plus when running Neverwinter Nights I get discolored textures
- 15:34 < AndrzejL> and its slow
- 15:35 < AndrzejL> I googled for about a week now
- 15:35 < AndrzejL> and decided to give #ati and #xorg try
- 15:35 < AndrzejL> [andrzejl@wishmasbell ~]$ cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep iver Driver
- "ati"
- 15:36 < AndrzejL> i know that fglrx is not compatible with this card
- 15:36 < AndrzejL> I tried few times and always borked X
- 15:36 < AndrzejL> so I googled more and found out its not compatible

- > 15:59 < kdekorte> AndrzejL: also note that if you go to gallium (which you probably

- > 16:00 < cockroach> kdekorte: subscribed :)
- > 16:00 < AndrzejL> ah ok :)
- > 16:00 < kdekorte> but with that card don't expect a whole lot
- > 16:00 < kdekorte> so the number in glxgears basically means nothing... just test a
- > game like vdrift or quake
- > 16:03 < AndrzejL> I just tried quake 3 arena and got about 40 FPS - game runs perfect
- > 16:03 < AndrzejL> same with Plants vs Zombies
- > 16:03 < AndrzejL> K guys thanks and bye
