The 3d hardware acceleration drivers that come with the One are a bit out of date, so to update them, go to the terminal and type:

Code: 
sudo yum -y update mesa-libGL

They didn't make a huge difference for me, but I think there may have been a 10 or so increase in average FPS in glxgears (you can run it yourself from the terminal to get your own before and after numbers, though you may need to reboot before the update takes effect).
 
I want to upgrade my graphics driver.

Another user who upgraded his drivers has now lost his webcam functionality (See f=5&t=1297). Although I doubt I will ever use the webcam, it seems a shame to loose this feature. Does this driver update affect your webcam functionality at all?

And how many FPS are u guys now seeing with the updated driver?
 
As far as I know, this one only updates the OpenGL-libraries while the other one updates the Intel-drivers for the GPU? I have not seen any negative sides from this one, webcam etc works fine :)

Code: 
[user@aspire_one ~]$ glxgears
2272 frames in 5.0 seconds = 454.337 FPS
2330 frames in 5.0 seconds = 465.997 FPS
2360 frames in 5.0 seconds = 471.878 FPS
2314 frames in 5.0 seconds = 462.774 FPS
2329 frames in 5.0 seconds = 465.776 FPS
2337 frames in 5.0 seconds = 467.358 FPS
2359 frames in 5.0 seconds = 471.746 FPS
2353 frames in 5.0 seconds = 470.491 FPS
2341 frames in 5.0 seconds = 468.087 FPS
2348 frames in 5.0 seconds = 469.520 FPS
2334 frames in 5.0 seconds = 466.615 FPS
2348 frames in 5.0 seconds = 469.496 FPS

It updates the Mesa libraries, which contain the Linux OpenGL (hardware 3d acceleration) drivers for cards with open source drivers like Intel chipsets and older ATI cards. annafil's post is about the X.org 2d driver.
 
I ran the line of code in the terminal, at the end it showed lots of errors siting that I need libssl.so.6 is that normal, or did something go wrong?
 
Im not to familiar with the term "terminal" im guessing thats for linux, but is there a similar update for windows xp?
 
I've updated the graphics drivers to 2.2.1 and updated mesa_libGL. Before updating mesa I got ~700fps from glxgears.
Now:
4654 frames in 5.0 seconds = 930.652 FPS
4697 frames in 5.0 seconds = 939.148 FPS
No problems with Compiz effects and my webcam still works :)
 
Intel Atom 1.6GHz
512MB RAM

Before update:
2112 frames in 5.0 seconds = 422.272 FPS
2151 frames in 5.0 seconds = 430.136 FPS
2158 frames in 5.0 seconds = 431.484 FPS
2126 frames in 5.0 seconds = 425.041 FPS
2138 frames in 5.0 seconds = 427.493 FPS

After update:
2285 frames in 5.0 seconds = 456.750 FPS
2250 frames in 5.0 seconds = 449.886 FPS
2295 frames in 5.0 seconds = 458.894 FPS
2304 frames in 5.0 seconds = 460.677 FPS
2212 frames in 5.0 seconds = 442.321 FPS

I'm gonna be upgrading to 1.5GB RAM when I can.

Holy cow.
How on earth are you getting numbers that high?
 
I did that, and saw no improvement.

I'm running Ubuntu 8.10, and I don't think 3D support is really working on it yet.
 
If anyone has gotten 3d acceleration working on 8.10, would you kindly post anything you've done to make it work, and perhaps your xorg.conf?
 
Pandemonium: unfortunately, the problem seems to be beyond simple configuration issues. In 8.10, the intel_batch hack simply isn't supported anymore... I'm still looking for a workaround
 
Gr.

Ok i'll try 2.5 like in the thread... hope Hans sees this thread if he doesn't have better luck with his attemps at compilation I might be able to provide him with a package if it does indeed work better.

Im pretty bummed about the batch option being gone, if we run out of options I'm gonna have to work on backporting the hardy version of xorg to Intrepid, drivers et al. ANyone wanna help?
