After installing FC5T3 including updates on 2 different machines, I

puzzled by the surprisingly poor OpenGL performance when running the
"glxgears" command:
IBM ThinkPad T23 [SuperSavage IX/C SDR]: 115 FPS
when other users report values of at least 240 FPS. Similarly for a
PR440FX based SPM system [Radon 7200 PCI]: 160 FPS
when I used to achieve 360 FPS for earlier releases. In both cases, "DRI" is
enabled. "LIBGL_DEBUG" is set to "verbose", and "glxinfo"
output looks ok.
Moreover, I booted with "enforcing=0" to avoid any "SELinux" trouble
... .
Any ideas? Similar observations?
It's generally a good idea to subscribe to the DRI and Mesa mailing
lists if experiencing GL performance issues or other problems. The IRC
channel #dri-devel on
freenode.net is also quite useful. That's a
direct pipe to the developers, who are generally quite helpful and
often provide troubleshooting tips, etc.
Hope this helps.
