I dunno, but I've been wondering too. Ever since I upgraded from
X 4.2 to 4.3, my OpenGL performance has gone into the toilet. I
used to be able to play bzflag normally; since I upgraded to 4.3,
I've had to lower many graphics parameter preferences for bzflag
for it to be useable at all. I would file a bug if I had any
clue what package to file it against; and I haven't had the time
to do the investigating to find out which.
-c
P.S. I have a Matrox G550; so if we're experiencing the same
problem (and it does sound the same), it's more likely to be in
the GL libraries or general DRI modules than in video card drivers.
