    I think the difference is that you are probably running the gears
    screensaver full screen, whereas the numbers that I gave above are from
    glxgears running from a console, which is not full screen. If I run
    gears full screen, showing the FPS, I am also getting around 50 FPS.

    Here is a sampling of the output during glxgears from a console:

    10226 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2045.200 FPS
    10246 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2049.200 FPS
    10230 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2046.000 FPS
    10220 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2044.000 FPS
    10218 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2043.600 FPS
    10157 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2031.400 FPS
    10187 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2037.400 FPS

    These numbers are about 50 - 75 FPS slower than what I first got after
    starting X, before loading other apps. These numbers are with Evolution
    and gmplayer running.

    BTW, I forgot to mention that I am running the 2.4.22-1.2163.nptl
    kernel.

    HTH,

    Marc
