hi all
i am trying to use gem, since i changed to ubuntu. i used gem before successfully on windows on the same computer. but since i started compiling gem myself on ubuntu dapper, i am not convinced by its performance and i strongly believe that i am doing something wrong, or anything on my computer is not optimized etc.
specs: Pentium M 1.7GHz Ati Radeon Mobility 9600 Ubuntu Dapper Xorg 7.0.0 xorg-driver-fglrx gem from cvs (checked out today) the output of './configure': http://romanhaefeli.net/gem_configure.txt
why am i thinking that gem is not working well on my computer?
the screensaver also does opengl stuff, that seems to be quite complicated in my eyes and it does eat only a little of the cpu-power, when running. also running the same gem-patches on windows seems to be not only 2x-3x faster, but maybe 30-50 times. running fgl_glxgears gives me values between 440 and 450 frames per second, which makes me assume, that hardware accelerated opengl works on my computer. so i suspect gem no to use any hardware acceleration at all and i wonder why. is there a way to check, if gem uses hardware acceleration? if yes and if my gem is _not_ using hardware acceleration, what do i need to do in order to make gem use of it?
many thanks in advance
