Try vblank_mode=0 glxgears
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.
Info for USB installs on http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/InstallFromUSBkey
CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.

For Nvidia, it would be __GL_SYNC_TO_VBLANK=0 glxgears. But glxgears isn't a useful benchmark anyway. And 300 fps is a strange number unless you really have a 300 fps display.

Fresh install here. I don't see the nvidia-kmod in epel. I was expecting to see nvidia-kmod in

Code: Select all

yum --enablerepo=epel list | less
I see a kmod.x86_64 though. Not sure if that is what I am looking for.
Did something happen to the nvidia-kmod?

Code: Select all

[Neptune@orcacomputers ~]$  lspci -vnn | grep VGA

Please don't hijack threads,

EPEL is not ELRepo.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.
