I've tried running the script and it was having trouble downloading the installer etc.. when surfing to the url it was looking for the files were no longer there.. so i turned to doing it manually..

I've managed to I think install the drivers.. when i first complied them.. changed my xf84config and then rebooted into kde i was able to run glxgears and get about 5000 fps.. but my screen res had changed to 640x480.. i changed my res back and rebooted my box.. im now trying to run glx gears and getting this error..

Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
Error: couldn't get an RGB, Double-buffered visual

Any ideas what this could be? im gonna have a good goole around i'll post the answer here if i find it.. but if anyone has any quick fire answer it would be much appreciated

Thanks in advance..

I really doubt that glxgears is an adequate benchmark program; frame rate largely differs depending on window size and it increases a lot when hidden behind xmms or so. Sure, you can at least tell whether an system has got accelarated drivers or it is just slow as shiznit for whatever reason (drivers or hardware). And I get 3200 with SuSE 9.0, Athlon 1.4, GeForce2 ti and nvidia drivers, not the latest version, came with SuSe online update. BTW, I get 12000 when in background and 450 in fullsceen mode 1024x768...

just my 2 Cents
