I told you it was on :-)
As it is, I'm rapidly running out of ideas.

I guess it's too much to hope for that you're running some heavy program in the background that causes the bad frame rate?!
Nothing at all - nothing except the bare minimum. gkrellm shows 0-5% of CPU usage only.
Another thing to check is that you have AGP working. "cat /proc/driver/nvidia/agp/status"
Ah. I have no directory /proc/driver/nvidia. The only directory in /proc/driver is uhci, and two text files 'nvram' and 'rtc'. YaST hardware tool shows that the 'Bios video', 'Display' and 'PCI' categories list the card's bus as PCI, but the card type as AGP. 'Framebuffer device' lists the bus as 'none'. There is no 'AGP' category - should there be? Might this be the problem? And how could I fix it?
