Hey all! quick question for ya.... I recently installed Enemy Territory to play a mod called ETF (www.etfgame.com) I got the game working with no problems by installing a few linux packages.. linux_base-8-8.0_6 Base set of packages needed in Linux mode (only for i386) linux_dri-4.3.0_3 Binary Linux DRI libraries for 3D hardware acceleration of linux-XFree86-libs-4.3.99.902_3 XFree86 libraries, Linux binary However upon installing the nvidia drivers I have the option of useing the FreeBSD agp driver or the nvidia one. ive treyd to use both. The game runs alittle slow and sluggish so i figured it didnt have hardware acceleration. So i need to enable AGP. but then it dawned on me..im not running an agp card.. im running PCIe (PCI Express, Asus Geforce 6600GT) So my question is do i need to load some sort of PCIe driver? How can i get the game to run smoothly and not sluggish? Any suggestions are welcome!
