I'm running the most recent openSUSE 10.3 kernel on a Dell Latitude 830 laptop using an NVidia Quadro 140M graphics chip with 512M of video RAM. I also have the latest version I can find of the NVidia native driver installed (100.14.23) and am using Xorg 7.2 as the X Server with Compiz-Fusion running. This screen configuration actually seems to work quite well and I can use all the neat Compiz hacks like the rotating 3D-cube, wobbly windows, etc.
What's bugging me is that when I run glxgears to check out the actual frames-per-second horsepower of the NVidia card, which should be pretty damn speedy, especially with 256M of devoted RAM, I only see FPS rates of about 60. This seems really odd to me, even though for all intents
Looks like it is syncing to VBlank, therefore you only get 60FPS (i.e. 60Hz, the refresh-rate of your monitor, but of course the rate don't apply to LCD) With Vblank-syncing turned on here: renan@gothic:~$ glxgears 350 frames in 5.0 seconds = 69.884 FPS (my monitor is set to the 70Hz refresh) Without it, I get FPS higher than 1000. Run nvidia-settings and, within the OpenGL settings, unmark "Sync to VBlank".
