Running Ubuntu 7.10 AMD64 on an AMD Phenom Quad-core with a Radeon hd 2400 XT and 3GB RAM.
I have the proprietary ATI driver installed.
For some reason when I TP to the same spot over and over switching between Visa Home Premium and Ubuntu I get around 30fps in Vista and around 10fps in Linux.
Any ideas what could be slowing Linux down?

ATI cards have a lot of features and speedups disabled on Linux in SL right now due to the historic quality of their drivers. A future version of SL will re-enable these features for users of really recent ATI Linux drivers (because they're much better than they were).

I have installed Suse 10.3 and going to test on it. It already seems more responsive generally so we'll see. I look forward to the new release. |

I am getting better FPS in Suse than I was in Ubuntu. Don't know why.
I should be rocking when the new client comes out.
Now the only problem I have is the logon screen is very slow. I can barely type in it. Once I get logged on SL runs fine, it's just the logon screen that's a problem.

I am using Mandriva (their packages are compiled for i586 instead of i386 with Ubuntu), and it is blazing fast. I get 15 (in crowded sims) to 60fps (in a skybox) with a good old Althlon XP 3200+ and a Nvidia 7600GT. On the same system, with Ubuntu Fiesty (and the same, Nvidia drivers), I am under 10fps ! |
