glxinfo seems to be lying to me

2012-02-11 Thread Michael P. Soulier
Hi, I set up direct rendering with my Nvidia GeForce FX 5500 using the nvidia-glx-legacy-173xx package. glxinfo is happy, compiz works, etc. But, any gl screensavers, or opengl games, are horribly slow and chewing all my CPU, suggesting that 3d accel is not working. Any pointers on solving this?
