    Hello,

    I have an ATI Radeon All-in-Wonder card (which is a 7200 with TV stuff
    added), and I was wondering if people out there with this card, or a
    similar one, could post their glxgears framerates. (I don't play
    games, but I do love the Really Slick Screensavers
    (http://rss-glx.sourceforge.net/), and some of them don't run very
    smoothly.) My system is a Pentium III 850MHz with 512MB RAM, and I'm
    running at 1280x1024, 75Hz, 24bit color. (Dropping down to 16bit
    color increases the framerates by about 25%.) Here's what I get:

    default window size, approx. 30% cpu usage: around 937 FPS
    full-screen, approx. 0% cpu usage: around 85 FPS

    I'm using the Gatos drivers for the video card, and running XFree86
    v4.3.0. Here's my XF86Config details:

    ------------------------------------------------------------
    Section "Module"

        Load "dbe"
        SubSection "extmod"
          Option "omit xfree86-dga"
        EndSubSection

        Load "type1"
        Load "freetype"
        Load "speedo"

        Load "glx"
        Load "dri"
        
    # found around the net; these don't affect the framerate:
    # Load "GLcore"
    # Load "bitmap"
    # Load "ddc"
    # Load "int10"
    # Load "record"
    # Load "vbe"

    EndSection

    Section "DRI"
            Mode 0666
    EndSection

    Section "Device"
        Identifier "vidcard"
        VendorName "ATI"
        Driver "ati"
        # AGP modes 2 and 4 don't affect the framerate:
        Option "AGPMode" "1"
    EndSection
    ------------------------------------------------------------

    And here's what lspci -v says about my video card:

    ------------------------------------------------------------
    01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon R100 QD
    [Radeon 7200] (prog-if 00 [VGA])
            Subsystem: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon AIW
            Flags: bus master, stepping, 66Mhz, medium devsel, latency 32,
    IRQ 5
            Memory at e8000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=128M]
            I/O ports at c000 [size=256]
            Memory at f5000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=512K]
            Expansion ROM at <unassigned> [disabled] [size=128K]
            Capabilities: [58] AGP version 2.0
            Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 2
    ------------------------------------------------------------

    Thanks,
    Anthony
