Just wanted to jump in an ask a slightly more OT question:

I have an Athlon XP 2000+ w/ GF4MX440se running 4363 and
I get approx. 1800 FPS on my CRT (1024x800 32bpp) and
2400 FPS on my TV (800x600 24bpp).  My TV is set up with
XvMC if that makes a difference.

Does resolution affect glxgears?  If so, what resolution are your
numbers based on?  What possible other factors might affect
this benchmark?  I am just trying to get a handle on how to use
glxgears for a relative comparison and still compare "apples to
apples".

Thanks for any insight.
