Reactions like these are why people keep this sort of information to themselves. In fact, I was really clear when I sent Phoronix the link that these benchmarks were never designed for comparing card...

I'm using KDE in Ubuntu 8.10, is anyone else here getting the "black flicker" bug where a quick black flicker shows up every few seconds and your system pauses (hangs?) while it's there?

Okay, while I don't dable in Linux as much as I used to (partially due to issues like the one I'm about to go into), I do fondly remember when Xgl and Compiz hit the scene, long before the Beryl fork...

Sorry, deleted and moved to Ati section

I really wish I could take a screenshot of what happens, but for some odd reason, the screenshot I get when I hit the Print Screen key looks fine.

Sorry, reading into both the article you linked to and the article it linked to, that's not even remotely the problem I'm having. Yours is that X in general is broken. Mine is exactly what the topic...

I can't figure out why this is happening, is there anyone else out there using Ubuntu with a GeForce 8600 GTS that might be able to shed some light on this?

With that in mind, how's the 8800 driver? Being brand-spanking-new, the 8600 driver is slow as...

I was being nice ;) My original title for that one involved a buyout of some sort, but then I realize they'd already been bought out, so I just re-routed it :3

8.45 The "No support yet for R700" Edition

8.67 The "Still no support for R700, preliminary R600 support" Edition

8.68 The "Nvidia had G90 support at launch?" Edition

9.0 The AIGLX edition!...

I think what would be fantastic would be if Phoronix went above and beyond (tho I'm not sure if they have access to the hardware needed to do this) and added benchmark results for the GeForce 7600 as...
