Gul Dukat Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 Hi, this my very first post here. So I hope I've posted it in the right forum. I've installed Mandriva 2006 x86_64 on my laptop with a AMD Turion 64 and a ATi X700 graphics-card in it. After installing the latest ATi-driver on my laptop, I'm getting 19395 Frames/3879.913 FPS with glxgears. :D But after installing Mandriva 2006 i586 on the same laptop, with the i586 ATi-drivers, gives me a poor performance with glxgears. This is what I get: 9619 Frames/1912.023 FPS. In both situations: - FSAA is off - Direct rendering: Yes - Kernel-source installed - And I run fglrxconfig and rebooted afterwards. I would appreciate any comments and/or recommendations. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aRTee Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 *Bump* BTW, Mods, maybe this one should go into "hardware"..? More eyes, more traffic, faster solution? Gul Dukat, is there any special reason to run in i586 mode? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gul Dukat Posted November 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 Yes, I would like to have a dual-boot with Mandriva 2006 x86_64 on that laptop. Solely for applications that aren't available for a x86_64 OS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aRTee Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 It should be possible to run 32 bit applications on a 64 bit OS, you would need all necessary libs, but to dualboot should not be necessary at all. I don't have a 64 system yet, so I don't know how to do this - don't you have /lib64 instead of /lib or so?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gul Dukat Posted November 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 aRTee, to be honest. I've never considered it the way you proposed it. Thanks for your idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aRTee Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 I think this is the standard way, for instance on a Mandriva 2006-64 system, to have flashplayer work: use the firefox 32-bit executable and associated libs. You should be able to find info on that here and/or on the official mandriva club forums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
