It could be that the glxgears is picking other libGL.so. Please run "ldd" on "glxinfo" and "glxgears". On the other hand could just be a coincidence. At this moment, the mach64 is under some heavy changes as we prepare to make subtancial improvements so it's a little slow. (I think that on my system glxgears is running at the same fps, both accel and not accel, too). But if you you run a "real" opengl app (like tuxracer), you will surely notice the difference in that case. What happens is that the bottleneck is in the communication to the card, so throughtput will be limited by the limited bandwidth, while complicated stuff (as texturing) will still run much faster than software. > I would like to have a realy 3D perfomance with my card.

First let's try to fix your problem, in the mean while lurk around in the first chapters of the developer's FAQ (http://dri.sourceforge.net/doc/faq/) to see what this is all about. > > Best regards > Alexander(Alex) Kern > Regards, Jos� Fonseca _______________________________________________________________ Have big pipes?
