Quite impressive, I saw no corruption while running the games, but desktop effects don't work (kwin-4.6) and there is corruption in the desktop.

Nice test, would like to test it myself...

I'dd like to test llvmpipe too, but with current mesa snapshot it doesn't work even with glxgears

Sorry, but nexuiz is efficiently dead. Try xonotic please?

That's why it's so good for benchmarks! You haven't to keep in mind the "engine version" variable so other users can easily understand and compare the results, while with Xonotic you can't because there is no stable version so far.
Anyway I will give Xonotic a try.

2.6.39-rc1 is still bugged: it means desktop corruption and no desktop effects

Openarena does not work too, DO NOT UPGRADE!!!

[darkbasic]

With latest bits everything works, from kwin to openarena to LLVMpipe and there isn't any sign of corruption
