[Bug 705464] Re: Ubuntu 10.04 doesn't set hardware acceleration on ProSavageDDR video card

 

apport information

** Tags added: apport-collected

** Description changed:

  I have a PC with Ubuntu10.04 and video card S3 VT8375 [ProSavage8
  KM266/KL266] and I'm trying to run some 3D games with at least a
  satisfactory performance, but I can not. I know that this chipset hasn't
  a good 3D support in Linux, but I did a test with Linux Mint Debian
  (LMDE) and the video came with a very acceptable performance, as this
  comparison:
  
  $ glxgears     (On Ubuntu 10.04)
  299 frames in 5.0 seconds
  347 frames in 5.0 seconds
  373 frames in 5.0 seconds
  378 frames in 5.0 seconds
  
  $ glxgears      (On LMDE)
  1249 frames in 5.0 seconds
  1147 frames in 5.0 seconds
  1107 frames in 5.0 seconds
  1278 frames in 5.0 seconds
  
  Furthermore, I discovered that Ubuntu doesn't use the correct driver for
  the card for 3D acceleration and do insist on doing software
  acceleration, which is slower than hardware acceleration:
  
  $ glxinfo | grep render     (On Ubuntu)
  direct rendering: Yes
  OpenGL renderer string: Software Rasterizer
  
  $ glxinfo | grep render     (On LMDE)
  direct rendering: Yes
  OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI ProSavageDDR 20061110 AGP 1x x86/MMX/SSE2
