1400 updates per second???
Strange: my machine is an Athlon XP 2100+ with a Radeon 9000 and I get only 800/s.
The rgbftext produces 48500/s though.
Maybe ATIs closed source Radeon driver (which supports all acceleration on every card up to the 9700) contains more bugs/slow code than I thought...
Unfortunately the new xf86-4.3 Radeon driver doesn't work with cards > 8500 :(
Or am I wrong here?
