To give the simple answer to the simple question :) glxinfo | grep -i direct a 'yes' means 3D acceleration is on, a 'no' means it's off. As others have noted, glxgears FPS numbers aren't a reliable indication of anything. If you want a reasonable ballpark guide as to 'general 3D performance', run a game and compare the FPS numbers there, but all 3D workloads are intrinsically different so you can't reliably generalize the results from any single test workload and say 'ok, this card is faster than this one'. This is why 3D graphics card reviews are so damn long and still can never conclusively tell you which card is 'better' for you. ok, sorry for the sidetrack. :) -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
