Hi all, I've recently upgraded my Debian system from Squeeze to Wheezy, but I seem to notice that graphical performance has become worse.
In particular, Torcs (car racing game) is now completely unplayable as it runs at less than 1 frame per second, while it used to run in the 20-50 FPS range depending on the circuit. Another program of mine which does some OpenGL drawing runs slower too, although the performance hit is less marked -- about 30%. I tried also glxgears but the version in Wheezy prints this message: Running synchronized to the vertical refresh. The framerate should be approximately the same as the monitor refresh rate. so I suppose it is now useless as a performance measuring tool. If there's a way to run it non-synchronized I didn't find it. (For the record it ran at approx. 700 FPS in Squeeze.) Can anyone please suggest how to make graphics run faster?
