(Get the code!)
ok ok ok... it is going to sound really weird... look what I did...
I was getting really bad fps on glxgears, around 150fps... I wasted all day long trying to figure out how to fix it. I tried to install some new driver... the intel 2.5 and the fps got even worst, around 70fps.
So I tried to compile a brand new kernel 2.6.28.7, no success, also add the repository deb http://
when I was almost giving up, I tried to run the glxgears using: sudo glxgears and I got:
3733 frames in 5.0 seconds = 746.500 FPS
Ok, it not perfect, but comparing with 150fps, it is awesome. So I figured out that it could be a problem with the user. I went toe the users settings clicked on my user -> properties -> user privileges tab and I found a check box that says capture video from tv and webcam and use 3d acceleration. It was unchecked, so I just checked, log off and log on again, finally everything was working again. My screen savers, 3d games, scroll down on the web browser... it was awesome...
My computer specifications are attached. I'm using linux mint 6, but I'm pretty sure it is going to work on ubuntu too since both distributions are the same thing.
