Hi, I have a strange problem with the NVidia drivers on my machines: when I start a glx-application (glxgears, quake2...) the performance is normal. If I make another attempt a few minutes later, the performance is ridiculous slow. Example: glxgears, 1st run: 6400 FPS glxgears, 2nd run: 17 FPS FreeBSD-versions: 5.2.1-p9 and 4.10-STABLE Nvidia-cards: GF4-Ti/4200 Boards: Asus A7V-600 (Athlon XP) If have tried several combinations of AGP-Support (FreeBSD vs. NVidia), nvidia-sysctls, XF86Configs ... without success. The next strange thing: if I wait several minutes, the performance is normal again, but only for 1 attempt, the next one ist slow again. This makes playing Quake2 impossible, because connecting a server includes a "vid_restart" (-> sloooow). I guess that something gets "locked" somehow. The next thing I want to try is an older 4.x version. Could this be a problem with the VIA KT600 chipset? Does anybody else experience this problem or am I the only lamer playing Quake on FreeBSD? ;) thank you for any help, Uwe
