Comment 39 for bug 347569

590fps is normal on the RS690 chipset with the open source drivers. I get around 570fps which is similar. So it looks like it is working to me. My guess is that you are suffering from a power management problem instead, which may be related to the new video power management code. Besides that, your configuration sounds like it is functioning normally to me. If you want faster 3d however, you'll need to initiate performance mode. Unfortunately, the ondemand power saving mode isn't smart enough to realize that you want faster 3d graphics, it just looks at cpu demand. They should fix this problem eventually, but it may be valid to submit a separate bug report about power management affecting 3d performance. That said, I don't think I experience this problem in ondemand mode, but I probably don't have the same cpu, system board or possibly driver that you do and I run in 64bit mode. I have reverted my configuration to the stock jaunty drivers with the exception of the patched mesa libraries.
