I'm trying to use SDL + OpenGL but I don't believe hardware acceleration is working because the framerate for around 18000 polys is about 24fps on a quad core machine but is a hopeless 1-2fps on an Intel Atom. Even the quad core starts to struggle when the poly count rises above this.
I've checked my code over but I'm clearly missing something obvious. I've changed my SDL initialisation code to use the same code as in the SDL OpenGL test. It reports that SDL_GL_ACCELERATED_VISUAL is 1 but that hw_available in SDL_VideoInfo is 0
Also the vendor is reported correctly as Nvidia on both machines and accelerated apps such as Compiz and glxgears work fine.
Any ideas of what to try?
Thanks
