Hi,
I am using NetBSD 2.0_BETA on i386 with a Matrox mga450 32mb
graphics card. In both Xorg and XFree86 I use the mga550 driver
(I tried also mga400). When I run glxgears and then I make
the window bigger (fullscreen, 1280x1024) this is the output:
[serah@nyarlathotep]% glxgears
106 frames in 5.0 seconds = 21.200 FPS
52 frames in 5.0 seconds = 10.400 FPS
51 frames in 5.0 seconds = 10.200 FPS
49 frames in 5.0 seconds =  9.800 FPS
52 frames in 5.0 seconds = 10.400 FPS
I always thought it was *a bit* slow, but now I am sure ;-)
Does anyone know how to help me?
Thank you!
