945GM and low fps in games

[bitgeek]

Hi,
I installed openSuse 10.3 yesterday. The problem I'm facing is that whenever I try to play games like xmoto, chromium; I'm getting a very low fps, about 5 or 6.
Any pointers?
I've Compiz Fusion enabled and it is running fine without any problems.

glxgears:
1315 frames in 5.0 seconds = 261.410 FPS
1340 frames in 5.0 seconds = 267.127 FPS

Here is my xorg.conf:

That is pretty low fps. I get 11,000 fps running glxgears.

What graphics card do you have and have you installed its drivers?

[bitgeek]

Intel 945GM.... And no, I didn't install any drivers.

[gogalthorp]

You must install the drivers to get the top 3d performance.

Go to the Intel site and check for drivers. read the install doc's very carefully
