All,
I have been trying to troubleshoot some video issues, and have gotten
on the bandwagon of seeing what information can be gleamed from
glxgears; it is not pretty:
[mythtv at localhost ~]$ glxgears
633 frames in 5.0 seconds = 126.556 FPS
638 frames in 5.0 seconds = 127.449 FPS
637 frames in 5.0 seconds = 127.374 FPS
638 frames in 5.0 seconds = 127.422 FPS
628 frames in 5.0 seconds = 125.479 FPS
638 frames in 5.0 seconds = 127.414 FPS
634 frames in 5.0 seconds = 126.792 FPS
638 frames in 5.0 seconds = 127.421 FPS
All the while, glxgears is chewing through 99% of my CPU according to top.
What can I do to speed this up? I understand that glxgears is not a
perfect benchmark, but I would think that using that type of CPU
power, an nother major processes running, I would get in the thousands
of fps (and this is why I suspect I can't playback HD or even DVDs
really for that matter). Some other vitals on my system (using a
geforce 5200 w/256 megs of memory; nforce chipset):
