Re: Mandrake 10 Beta Versus FreeBSD 5.2

Hi,

DRI was not enabled on either machine, when it was enabled it had no
effect on the FreeBSD machine however had a negative effect on the
Mandrake machine, dropping the frame rate to 238 frames per second....
There currently is no 3D acceleration for the Intel 84G on board video.
I am currently running a numerical benchmark test on these machines and
well let you know the results.
