Hi Silviu,
Thanks for the info - direct rendering = YES! So I guess that glxgears will always load the CPU, even if the Nvidia drivers are installed correctly?
Yes, it appears so. What I've just said about glxgears not loading the processor seems to be nonsense. I was running another program that was altering what the CPU monitor showed.
I get 800+ FPS on a GeForce2MX too.
Another empirical test is to run Chromium BSU (it's a game included in the kit). If it's playable at all, you have hardware OpenGL. If it's not (1 fps or less) there's only Mesa software emulation.
