I have a DELL E6400 with Intel GM45
I just tried to run with daily build live Jaunty i386 (20090124), with :
- linux-image-2.6.28-5-generic 2.6.28-5.15
- xserver-xorg-core 2:1.5.99.901-1ubuntu1
- xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.6.1-1ubuntu1
Here is what i get with glxinfo :
"OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI Mobile Intel® GM45 Express Chipset GEM 20090114 x86/MMX/SSE2"
Here is output of lspci :

Here is my result for glxgears : 299 frames in 5.0 seconds = 59.742 FPS !!

It's worst than before with Intrepid (kernel 2.6.27 and intel 2.4.1) : ~ 200 FPS

I think this laptop should get more than 1000 FPS ?

I hope I will get better perf with the final release of Jaunty and my DELL E6400 (Intel GMA 4500 MHD)

Or may be it could be a specific DELL problem with this model ?
