Some Extreme Tux Racer tests (intel GMA X3100 (GL360)):
linux version on linux (Karmic): 15-20 FPS
windows version on linux (Karmic) via wine: 15-20 FPS
windows version on windows (Vista) on the same computer: 40-50 FPS
So it looks that linux intel video driver is at least 2-2.5 times more slow than it could be.
Installing new Xorg (only drivers or the whole) from ppa caused very strange things: glxgears reported FPS several times larger than for the default configuration, Tux reported the same 15-20 FPS, but actual apparent performance was very bad in both cases, no more than 10 FPS.
Is there any way to install 2.4 driver on Karmic? I found it in the Jaunty x-retro ppa, but there is no 2.4 driver for Karmic.
