Ubuntu on T40p

Hi!

This is probably a very common question, but how many fps can I expect to get on my T40p running Ubuntu Breezy? did the

glxgears -printfps

and got ~1444 fps. Is this low? How can I check my driver and which shoul I use?

Thanx!

After installing xorg-driver-fglrx I loaded the kernel module
echo fglrx | sudo tee -a /etc/modules
and konfigured Xorg by
sudo sed -i -e 's/"ati"/"fglrx"/' /etc/X11/xorg.conf
all as described in

http://aaltonen.us/archive/2005/03/02/u ... nkpad-t42/

After that I checked the fps output on glgears and got approx. 482 frames in 5.0 seconds = 96.210 FPS when the window was maximized.

Checked the fglrxinfo:
display: :0.0 screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: FireMV 2400 PCI DDR Pentium 4 (SSE2) (FireGL) (GNU_ICD)
OpenGL version string: 1.3.1010 (X4.3.0-8.16.20)

This looks puzzling because I got approx. the same output with Breezys native ATI drivers.

Hardinfo claims I got the Radeon Mobility 9000 M9 which I suppose is the Fire GL 9000.

Could someone just confirm that this is the best I can get (T40p ATI Fire GL 9000, etc.)?

Thanx!
