I have an nvidia geforce2 mx 400 adapter.
-
I waited until the latest 6016 nvidia drivers came out with the fix for
the 8k stacks to install the nvidia drivers and try them out.
I downloaded the driver from nvidia and installed it from their .run
file, made the changes in the Xorg.conf file, and restarted X
-
from my Xorg.0.log file I get
(II) LoadModule: "nvidia"
(II) Loading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/nvidia_drv.o
(II) Module nvidia: vendor="NVIDIA Corporation"
I tested with glxgears and only got about 5fps, so I did more digging.
I found a post recommending 4 options for the xorg.conf file and I put
them in. I verified that dri is not loaded and that glx is loaded.
from the device secton of my xorg.conf file I have (with the options in
place).
Section "Device"
Identifier "Videocard0"
Driver "nvidia"
VendorName "Videocard vendor"
BoardName "NVIDIA GeForce 2 MX (generic)"
Option "RenderAccel" "On"
Option "IgnoreDisplayDevices" "DFP,TV"
Option "ConnectedMonitor" "CRT"
Option "HWCursor" "On"
EndSection
Now after restarting X again I get between 10 - 15fps on glxgears, a slight improvement but not good. I know from other posts that I should be able to get 1000fps or better.
Does anyone have any clues or suggestions as to what I have missed here?
My entire xorg.conf file can be sent if needed.
Thanks
Jeff
