Glxgears is a very simple benchmarking tool for your graphics card.

Running glxgears with no vsync (vertical synchronization) is a great simple way to do a very simple benchmark of your graphical situation when you are testing out drivers on your linux system.

You just run the command: vblank_mode=0 glxgears

Easy way to see current graphics driver in use in Xorg: egrep -i " connected|card detect|primary dev|Setting driver" /var/log/Xorg.0.log

Appending MOV files efficiently can be a challenge. The only "safe" and easy way without destroying the video or the sound is done by using Avidemux which is a free video editing tool for Linux.
