Quite an old thread=2C but last week I reawaked my R51 with Debian 6 and no=
w I receive=20
2115 frames in 5.0 seconds =3D 422.588 FPS
2118 frames in 5.0 seconds =3D 423.576 FPS
2120 frames in 5.0 seconds =3D 423.633 FPS
2122 frames in 5.0 seconds =3D 424.374 FPS
2120 frames in 5.0 seconds =3D 423.632 FPS
1848 frames in 5.0 seconds =3D 369.537 FPS

Now my pretty old Thinkpad runs like a young god and Debian has promised se=
curity updates for two more years.

Nevertheless for the "fast" user with glxgears I receive:
304 frames in 5.0 seconds =3D 60.678 FPS
302 frames in 5.0 seconds =3D 60.266 FPS
302 frames in 5.0 seconds =3D 60.267 FPS
302 frames in 5.0 seconds =3D 60 .267 FPS

For the slow user it is only
190 frames in 5.0 seconds =3D 37.979 FPS
188 frames in 5.0 seconds =3D 37.580 FPS
193 frames in 5.1 seconds =3D 38.032 FPS
193 frames in 5.0 seconds =3D 38.405 FPS
197 frames in 5.0 seconds =3D 39.267 FPS

Kind of strange..
