The only question which springs to my mind is whether you're using the Mesa software graphics drivers or the binary drivers for your graphics card? I think that this should give you a clue about which driver you are definitely using (without poking around in xorg.conf). $ glxinfo|grep vendor server glx vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation client glx vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation OpenGL vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation Plus to test your opengl performance you can run the following - if it's really jerky then that's probably due to your graphics card: $ glxgears I get between 1500 and 2500 FPS for reference. System->Administration->Restricted Drivers Manager is where I enabled my binary Nvidia drivers - they aren't open source so Ubuntu disables them by default. I'm not an expert so I'm sure you'll get better advice but hopefully this will get you started. - -- Stephen O'Neill w: http://www.thefloatingfrog.co.uk/ e: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFH+HMAJ+Auntu1v4QRArCMAJ0f2s1dFfORIFVTC4OJlU8efjc1sgCgiUwx 0n5LVfxYHJi9EmGJeS1ZzJ0= =vV/l -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
