8.10 3d acceleration

Hi, I've successfully installed both xubuntu 8.04.1 and ubuntu 8.10 and applied the tweeks detailed here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AspireOne#Step 3: Tweak / Fix to get better 3d acceleration. This hints work flawlessly in 8.04.1 (glxgears reports ~800fps) but with 8.10 I still have ~400fps.
Anyone experiencing the same issue?
Thank you

 

I have on ly about 230 fps in 8.10. Strange, it should be higher. Reporting back when I have solved this.

This is my xorg.conf file

Code:

# values from the debconf database.

Can you post yours.

 

My xorg.conf is exactly the same.. I seem to remember that the one under Xubuntu 8.4.1 were somewhat longer..didn't pay much attention because everything was just working well..

 

Mine is the same, and I get 230-250 fps too.
Anyway on ubuntuforums there are other people complaining about 3d performance, maybe it's a driver problem..

 

If it's a driver problem I suppose that downgrading the driver (xorg side, not kernel side) would do the trick..
I will give it a try tonite after work
