nvidia and no 3D after driver upgrade
Hi, after upgrading nvidia driver from v.1.0-7174 to 1.0-7667 3D stopped working. glxgears run at 15 fps and none of GL screensavers start. I cabn see that "nvidia" module is loaded, "glxinfo" says that direct rendering enabled and correctly identifies the video card and the driver. Also , sax2 says that 3D enabled. Originally, nvidia driver was installed through YOU. The upgrade was done first running "nvidia-installer --uninstall" and after that running Nvidia's installer (NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-1.0-7667-pkg2.run) since YOU did not fetch any new drivers. Looking at the nvidia-installer log I have not spotted errors, it says that "installed succesfully". What could be the problem? Any advise will be appreciated.

what does cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep NV say? see any clues there? or cat /proc/driver/nvidia/agp/status ? B-) On Friday 24 June 2005 09:12 am, Dima wrote:

Hi, the output of /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep NV looks ok, I attached it. What I observed is that 2 running setiathome demons processes (I have 2 CPUs) kill nvidia 3D performance. Here is FPS from glxgears before and after I stopped setiathome: 42 frames in 5.0 seconds = 8.400 FPS 51 frames in 5.0 seconds = 10.200 FPS 50 frames in 5.0 seconds = 10.000 FPS 47 frames in 5.0 seconds = 9.400 FPS 50 frames in 5.0 seconds = 10.000 FPS 51 frames in 5.0 seconds = 10.200 FPS 50 frames in 5.0 seconds = 10.000 FPS 22524 frames in 5.0 seconds = 4504.800 FPS 62582 frames in 5.0 seconds = 12516.400 FPS 62882 frames in 5.0 seconds = 12576.400 FPS 62826 frames in 5.0 seconds = 12565.200 FPS 62624 frames in 5.0 seconds = 12524.800 FPS 62841 frames in 5.0 seconds = 12568.200 FPS 62705 frames in 5.0 seconds = 12541.000 FPS Is that how the Nvidia driver is supposed to behave?

Also, sound does not work if I have 2 setiathome processes running. A message (in KDE) pops up that CPU is overloaded and artsd exiting. Again, as with 3D problem - is it normal behaviour? Or there is something wrong with my installation? I thought that kernel takes care of timing/slicing issues, so that processes does not get kicked out. Dima. --- Brad Bourn <brad@summitrd.com> wrote:

Try to run setiathome with -nice 19 to set low priority to setiathome. Gruss Carsten
Thatnks! That worked to some extent. Now glxgears produce 300 fps instead of 10 fps. Dima. --- Carsten Koch-Mauthe <suse@vienenbox.de> wrote:
