[Preston] Framebuffer + Nvidia

Excuse my ignorance, but what does framebuffering actually do? Last time I 
compiled a kernel I (2.4.18) I included support for it with my graphics card. 
It was marked 'experimental'. I have since noticed absolutely no difference 
in the graphics performance at all. (I was actually hoping to get Quake II to 
work in Open GL mode, which it still doesn't. I believe this is a bug in 
nVidias OpenGL support, although GL screensavers seem to work.) My card has 
the Riva TNT2 ultra chipset and I (shamefully) compiled the proprietory 
nVidia drivers. I also get a nVidia logo splash screen when I start X. How 
embarassing.

Anyway, is there some program I could run to test framebuffering, or is there 
some piece of software that would perform differently with it?

Best regards,
