Hi Simon I am not using devfs, but I have the same graphics card and was interested in your gears output. I find I only get a high fps (over 1000fps) when clicking/focusing on the xterm running gears, normally with the focus is elsewhere gears just plods along at 800 fps. Is this the same for you or does gears run along at 1500 fps without having to keep the mouse focus on the xterm? Thanks Rich

Hi Folks,

Seeing how there is a lot relating to NVidia cards/drivers on the list at the moment:

My system has an NVidia GForce 2 MX card. Getting this to work with SuSE 7.0 required a few tweaks to get it working just so. Upon installation of SuSE 7.2 card was detected correctly and everything worked out of the box.

I am now running a system based on SuSE 7.2 kernel 2.4.4-4GB with devfs filesystem. Upon upgrade of NVidia drivers to those available from NVidia site (driver version: v1.0-1541) X failed to start as the driver would not load. After some reconfiguration cos of use of devfs, drivers worked fine. If devfs was not mounted, then these drivers worked out of the box. Frame rate/sec for gears went from 150 to 1500.

If anyone is interested in the config changes needed to get these new NVidia drivers working with a mounted devfs just let me know.

Kind regards,

Simon
