The latter is (supposed to be) common sense. > $ man glxgears > No manual entry for glxgears > $ glxgears -h > Warrning: unknown parameter: -h > > $ glxgears --help > Warrning: unknown parameter: --help > > $ ls /usr/share/doc/mesa-utils > changelog.Debian.gz copyright The documentation is certainly lacking.

Not in general. Just as one example, Cedega uses glxgears for this, but it incorrectly thinks that there's no hardware acceleration when sync-to-vblank is enabled. glxgears is a very simple program that demonstrates the use of GLX to display three rotating gears. Nothing less, but especially nothing more. -- Earthling Michel Dänzer | Debian (powerpc), X and DRI developer Libre software enthusiast | http://svcs.affero.net/rm.php?r=daenzer
