In full screen mode, 1600x1200 at 24bpp, glxgears gets reduced to 55 FPS! This seems to be awfully slow, or is this normal for that card? glxinfo|grep rendering outputs Yes, so 3D accelaration is supposed to be there. Root and non-root achieve the same speed, no it's not a matter of access to /dev/nvidia*
This is on SUSE 10.0, with the nvidia driver in version 1.0.7676, that I installed via YOU.
Would an update to the new 8776 driver version improve the performance?
I doubt it. I d'l the file directly from nVidia......NO change.
How do I do such an update in the best way? Ideally it would survive kernel updates, as the current installation does. Btw, can anybody point me to a description how that is done? I would like to configure my VMware installation the same way, that it survives kernel updates as well.
It's easy enough to do, but from my experience and of others, it hasn't improved over the last driver. Fred -- MickySoft, the ultimate corporate parasite.
