Switching between front and backbuffer doesn't affect the displayed pictures. The benchmark result is: Benchmarking... Result: 325 reads in 4.009000 seconds = 2956697.430781 pixels/sec My experiences from testing: Wolfenstein (single-player): works, about same speed as dri-trunk, but not completely stable (exited with Signal 4 in one run, and Signal 11 in another, and once I got a complete lockup of the system) Q3A: stable (at least for the time I tested), but not very fast. In fact it shows the same symptoms I got with earlier versions of DRI-trunk (before around 2002-10-11): poor overall speed, and a framerate that maxes out at 50 FPS. Is the r200-code in your branch from before that date? If yes, that would explain the behaviour. small stuff like gl-screensavers, mesa-demos seems to run fine one more thing: If I disable hardware-TCL (R200_NO_TCL=1), then some GL-apps won't start ( Signal 8 / FPE ). At least q3a, wolfsp and gears are affected, probably others too. Disabling hw-TCL does work with current trunk-code for me. My system is a AMD 1800+ on a KT266A-mobo, with a Radeon 8500 QL, linux-2.4.19, agpmode is set to 1, page-flipping is enabled [...] > -Brian > ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Dri-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dri-devel
