Hi,

I have a fresh SuSE 7.3 installation, and a Asus V8200 GeForce3 card with Athlon 1.2 GHZ. I have downloaded the Nvidia drivers with Online update, and when I rebooted I could get KDE and X running ok.

But my fps is now very slow, and after awhile gears now won't even run, and exits with 'Segmentation fault'. Something's obviuosly not working ok.

I have also performed these steps in XFree86config: - Load "glx" - "nv" to "nvidia" - Option "NvAgp" "1" (+ the other options)

Sax2 will run and configure the card but does not fix anything. The same goes for running 'xfree86config'.

Has anyone installed an Asus Geforce3 card on SuSE 7.3 with success, and could help me out here?

I would suspect there might be a problem with the wrong libraries being loaded. Search /var/log/Xfree86.0.log and look for glx. Make sure that libglx.so is being loaded and not libglx.a. If libglx.a is being loaded then move it to another filename. Look for any EE's or WW's in the log as well. Try cat /dev/nv/card0 and see what it reports. Do you know which chipset your motherboard has. Maybe a VIA KT266A. If so linux has generic AGP support for VIA, and you can use agpgart as opposed to the NVidia AGP support. Hope these help.

PS: The card was running perfectly in SuSE 7.1 with about 4500 fps in

gears.

Now the fps is about 20!
