I think in Crux or MintPPC is it the same,but I let myself be happy to teach

I have done some testing with Debian Wheezy / Mint PPC and running glxgears I get up to 1720 fps with no issues. I have also run the OpenArena benchmark from http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/Benchmarking and I get 53.9 fps running the test as suggested.

Has anyone run any similar tests?

I only get 120 fps with glxgears with squeeze, no h/w acceleration it seems, I need to re-install the radeon driver & see if that helps.

AW has a linux benchmark thread, http://amigaworld.net/modules/newbb/vie ... 1&forum=34
You might want to see what other systems get with some benchmarks, though I thought someone posted the glxgears results, but can't find it.

I get this ouptut with glgears:
1174 frames in 5.0 seconds = 234.702 FPS
1409 frames in 5.0 seconds = 281.658 FPS
1469 frames in 5.0 seconds = 293.760 FPS
1230 frames in 5.0 seconds = 245.965 FPS
1413 frames in 5.0 seconds = 282.402 FPS
1648 frames in 5.0 seconds = 329.411 FPS
1649 frames in 5.0 seconds = 329.621 FPS

Which graphiccard do you use?

Pretty sure he has a FC system, so I'd guess a 4650 card. Seems Debian Mint has h/w acceleration, I don't think its the gfx card, but I'm still a linux noob.

It an FC system with the Radeon HD 4650 card.

Apart from a stock Wheezy/MintPPC install I made the following tweaks after reading an Arch Linux discussion. https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=928175:

I created /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-vsync.conf and entered the following text. and also created the file /etc/profile.d/radeon.sh with the text
I suggest that you stop X with the command below, as root, if you want to try those changes and then reboot. The glxgears test went from 700fps to 1700fps after those changes.

Wow looks good!

I suppose I will have to update the Installation guide again.

BTW is the graphic fix also applicable to Debian Squeeze?

Hi Trevor

I haven't tried it on Squeeze - my initial Squeeze install has since made way for Wheezy

I'll reinstall Squeeze this evening and see what happens.

Do you use software 3d driver or hardware 3d driver?
