Talk:Intel Extreme Graphics 2

I have been unable to get the intel driver to push glxgears to show anything over 200 fps, the driver appears to have compiled and loaded I am shure that this is unusable, I am running a thinkpad R50e.

You need to make sure that you have MESA(the OpenGL library) compiled with DRI support, otherwise the driver won't accelerate 3d, you'll just have software rendering. How you get a DRI enabled MESA depends on your disto.
