Hmmm, if you can give pointers, I can give it a go :-/ > My recommendation is to try XFree86 4.2.0 from rawhide and see if > the problem is fixed now, and if not, report back here.

I have just got XFree86-4.2.0 to compile on my Linux From Scratch distribution and the first thing I tried was the glxgears (glxinfo told me that I was using DRI, so that's worked ok), and still the problem persists. > Don't hold your breath though, 3dfx hardware development pretty > much ceased over a year ago. ;o( Hmmm. I've just tried to get a screenshot of the gears program, but when the snapshot program grabs the screen, the gears program slows down and the spikes disapear, so I can't send a grab, unfortunately. Thanks, Luke.
