Thanks for the inputs and help offered, to all you good men. Solved my problem, although I could not believe my eyes. 1. My Via motherboard would run only on 1x AGP speed and would simply hang on other speeds [like 2x and 4x]. It has SDRAM and the board wouldn't allow even testing for 2/4x by the X server/nvidia module. So it works at 238 fps [glx gears] 2. I did "sh installer.run --extract-only" to get the tar file and then did a repeated "make install" for the tweaks that I made to os-registry.c. All of you watch this file carefully. -- Rohit +9122 5692 2101 G9,Floor-1,Chandivali : SDE : TLSI : 9821394599@bplmobile.com The information below is compulsorily added for non-mahindrabt recepients. ********************************************************* Disclaimer This message (including any attachments) contains confidential information intended for a specific individual and purpose, and is protected by law.
