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'.
I just saw in another post that you're running the nv driver. You'd have /proc/driver/nvidia if you ran nvidia's official driver.
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.
AGP is PCI. A special kind of PCI, but still PCI.
'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?
It might be a problem, I don't know. If you have a 4x AGP card but it's only running at 1x, that could possibly be a cause for the poor framerate. I'm not sure though, I'm grasping at straws here :) I guess the nv driver uses agpgart for agp acceleration, but I don't know how to check that. I'm using the Nvidia driver's built in AGP handler. Maybe someone who's using agpgart could say how to check? Anders
