Use glxinfo | grep renderer instead, I'm guessing that you're actually not using DRI.. as ~344 FPS is rather slow, my ancient Radeon 9200 SE (..r200) gets over 900 FPS with glxgears. On OpenBSD, for good 2D/3D.. R200/R300-based radeon GPU's are the best supported ATI cards, no DRI module is built for r500+ cards. |

And yes, that seems to be the case. Thanks for pointing that out.

It's simply that the software rasterizer included in Mesa these days supports direct rendering. If you disable AIGLX entirely in Xorg, but still use software rendering via Mesa, you still get direct rendering. |

Thanks Guys. I'm going to look at r200/r300 chips. Unless anyone can suggest better I will go with a ATI Radeon X600. Would a dual link like this work with OpenBSD. ATI Radeon X600

Looks like the r600's are getting some updates soon... Bleh...sorry. I misread your last post. You said X600...
