Hello, when I used GnuBG (source-SNAPSHOT-20090501) on Slackware 12.2 with ATI's proprietary driver (fglrx), 3d performance wasn't great, but still acceptable.
Now I upgraded to Slackware64 13.37, where X11 uses the open source 'radeon' driver. DRI is enabled, and demos like `glxgears` run smoothly. But GnuBG's (gnubg-source-SNAPSHOT-20110326) 3d performance is abysmal (the built-in test reports 0.2--0.3 FPS). I also tried the oldest downloadable GnuBG snapshot, but it too performs badly. The GtkGlExt library is installed, and `ldd` reports that `gnubg` is linked to it. What could be at fault here? I know my humble graphics card (ATI Radeon 200M) can do much better than this, and the open source driver seems to work decently enough. GnuBG's 3d graphics wouldn't seem very demanding, so I really wonder how it can be so sluggish. Thanks for your thoughts. _______________________________________________ Bug-gnubg mailing list Bug-gnubg@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-gnubg
