Curiously I have a similar issue. I get fairly slow framecount unless I log in as root. Then I get about 20 times the number of frames per second. Any suggestions/similarities?
I wanted to check FlightGear, therefore I had to activate 3D and accel. I downloaded the newest nvidia driver, NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-8776-pkg1.run. I modified /etc/X11/xorg.conf in the same way I had done previously in 9.3 where it worked, and rebooted.
I try "glxgears", small window:
cer@nimrodel:~> glxgears 3596 frames in 5.0 seconds = 719.072 FPS 4023 frames in 5.0 seconds = 804.191 FPS 4011 frames in 5.0 seconds = 802.194 FPS
full screen
697 frames in 5.0 seconds = 139.220 FPS 652 frames in 5.0 seconds = 130.221 FPS
The gears turn slowly, and the main cpu soars to 100%. This is not normal.

add your user to the group "video", log out and log back in

Then make sure your nvidia binary driver is properly installed. Perhaps try reinstalling it

I have done that several times, with more than one version of the driver, and using diferent options. Worse, it crashes my whole system, even locking it hard some time later, when using it, doing operations like window resizing or changing the TV out from overlay to capture or viceversa. Full logs were posted. There is something in SuSE 10.1 or the current binary drivers that is bad. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

Users were all in video group and nvidia correctly installed. However... I've now discovered that it's only my account that gets relatively slow glxgears---the only account where I copied almost everything directly from SuSE 9.3. So, most likely, some setting I copied is causing the problem an probably I can fix it easily when I take time to work out what it is. It might be worthwhile testing everything on a new, empty user account. -- JDL

Ah!!! :-(

Ugh... I'll try to do that. - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.76 iD8DBQFFPI7MtTMYHG2NR9URAjUiAKCQwGSU072tkmCWJIw8z6sGHJgnIACdEZp6 MQX7zvtVaXAQRzPtKcVNGvo= =VfmJ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

This is beginning to sound much like a problem i had some time ago now .. 2D was fine but 3D was slow the fix was very easy can the video card and replace it with a new one not had any more problems since .. Pete . PS for those that seem to object to my post well it's easy DONT READ EM BOYS know what i mean ..

In that case especially check your environment for _NV* variables, and check your access rights to /dev/nv* (should be ok, if glxinfo says direct rendering: yes).

Definitely.

I checked all those. They are OK, though I set an unusually large number of environment variables, so some other setting might be causing the problem.

I did. I fact it work's on my son's accout, which is one reason I didn't notice there was a problem for so long and why I've not put a huge ammount of effort into solving it. He uses accelated graphics all the time; I seldom use it. -- JDL
