I need some help: I tried running Spring in Linux with latest opensource dri drivers for Radeon(r100 type card, radeon.dri driver) so
when the camera is over the terrain with no units I get 50-60 FPS, but when I move the camera over any unit(like my commander) the FPS slows immediately to 9 FPS, what type of acceleration is not working here? (My glxgears test runs at about 2000FPS)
What kind of options in the videocard might be responsible for that (texture quality, model drawing options?) Are OpenGL extensions responsible for that?
Is there a way to change some options in spring itself? (there is no rtssetting for linux I think)
Any help appreciated
Running Spring in Linux issue

I could say you are partially lucky. For me the whole map and units are white (also old radeon, using open source drivers).
About the config: there is indeed a .springrc created in my home directory when I start spring, but I doesn't seem as it is reading the data from it.
The new lobby (trunk/omni) has a menu with settings, and saves them in its own configuration (named .omni). I have made some small improvements to the lobby and sent them so I'm a bit familiar with omni, maybe I will look also into the springrts setting.
But please tell me if you figure out/or if .springrc is working for you. I started omni, made changes and then copied the setting from .omni to .springrc, but observed no difference. And (recurring theme) I don't have time to look in spring now to see why it is not loading the .springrc

well
Well,
.springrc settings does work,
To make textures on old radeon non-white use the driconf utility from dri.freedesktop.org (i think) and enable the texture compression on 2-nd tab.
Actually settings in .springrc work, for ex. I put
GroundDecals=0
and tracks were removed, lowered all other settings, but that didn't help my FPS much, when there are units in view...

Ok. Got driconf but I don't have anything about texture compression. Any ideas ?
The output of lspci:
(GroundDecals is working for me too, but resolution no....)
