Fred, have you tried going back several versions of the driver to see what results you get?
Sorry I'm late in getting back to you Basil. No, I haven't. I have hope that SOON SUSE will get nVidia to fix the driver as it SHOULD be. That is, equal in performance to the 'Bloze driver. I am also watching ATI, as the buyout of ATI by AMD is now consumated. The "word" is, is that AMD IS going to place the driver code under GPL. We'll see if they do. 'Hope so! Intel has already made their drivers open source, so this would put ample on nVidia to get their heads out of the sand bucket.
I have mentioned here that there are reports opened in bugzilla about this, and that they are waiting for your report. If nothing comes, they will close it without doing anything.
And, for the record, the problem seems to be in the linux camp, not the nvidia's.
At this point, I'm in agreement. My suspect is "X".
Fred
I have a gut feeling that "X" is the culprit. The reason I say this is that I had no problems with the NVIDIA driver until the new X-server was offered via zen. I have a different failure set than what has been talked about but I think they are related. I must admit that I haven't had the guts to down rev X and instead just gave up on 3D and have been using the NV driver since. Has anyone tried down rev-ing the X-server to the original that came with 10.1 ? Has anyone as yet tried to see if these problems persist in 10.2 Beta 1 ? Cheers, Bob
