1 DRI - Direct Rendering Interface is (I think) the opengl mode
2
3 try $glxgears to see performance of your video card
4
5 try "glxinfo | grep direct" to see if direct rendering is enabled
6
7 I had direct rendering enabled in /var/log/Xorg.0.log and disabled in
8 glxinfo
9
10 So far I haven't resolved it (probably wrong libGL library) but I've

12
13 On my i915 card I get around 700-800 fps on glxgears and it should be
14 1500-1800 with direct rendering enabled

16 Have a good time with DRI
