I don't believe the texture compression issue is fixed because of patent issues. > The current CVS code from Mesa and DRI is even better than what > we have in Xorg 6.8.2.

Hmmm I'm getting the following on a nVida 5700 Ultra (a far from top range nVidia Card) [subsolar@azure ~]$ glxgears 20495 frames in 5.0 seconds = 4099.000 FPS 27532 frames in 5.0 seconds = 5506.400 FPS 27474 frames in 5.0 seconds = 5494.800 FPS 27347 frames in 5.0 seconds = 5469.400 FPS 27244 frames in 5.0 seconds = 5448.800 FPS Regards, Paul -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
