I don't want to hijack this thread but I am also having an NVIDIA/game issue. Although I am not really a gamer, I bought a copy of Descent3 for Linux to help support Loki. I have it working, but the frame rate and control responses are so sluggish that it is completely un-playable. I am running a Creative TNT2 Ultra 32Mb 32bit AGP card on an AMD Athalon Thunderbird 1400MHz processor, with 512Mb of DDRAM, through SuSE 7.2 Pro. I have downloaded and installed the latest drivers. NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-1541.suse72.i386.rpm and NVIDIA_GLX-1.0-1541.suse72.i386.rpm (just released last week). I have also run SaX2 and confirmed the card's configuration and selected the GLX driver. However the problem still persists. I suspect the problem may be that software acceleration (vice hardware) is enabled. Does anyone know: 1) If this is likely the problem and, if not, what is? 2) If it is, how do you switch off software acceleration? 3) When you use SaX2, the first thing it asks you is do you want 3D enabled. Does this refer to software or hardware acceleration/rendering? None of the SuSE or Nvidia reference material has been of much help. -- burns
