I have an nvidia card and glxgears is also displaying painfully slow values however, all the 3D stuff works fast so glxgears is not dealing well with this card. Some friends nvidia card on SUSE 10.1 does will with glxgears just not mine.
I nosed around on the DVD for fgl_glxgears and on the WEB looking for it but can't find. Will fgl_glxgears work properly on nvidia and if so where do I get it to test?

Me too - but only since I installed the latest ATI driver. Before that I was getting really good FPS rates. Having said that, the gears still seemed to be going at the same speed, so I wonder if something in the new drivers is affecting the FPS output.
I found fgl_glxgears already installed, with the new drivers:

Still not brilliant, but better than glxgears reports.

Again, your real test is the games & other 3D stuff you can run. Also, use 3dinfo and/or 3Ddiag to double check the card and if you are using the GL on the card, not Mesa rendering. Lee
