I get no apparent performance > decrease on glxgears either (which is about the limit of my GL usage > nowadays!). glxgears works for you with the nv driver? I cannot get it to work for me (I have a RIVA TNT as opposed to your RIVA TNT 2). Could you post your xorg.conf? I have the line Load "glx" in the "Module" Section. Perhaps the nv driver works much better than for the TNT 2 as opposed to the TNT? Thank you for your help and thank you to the whole list for the support and replies. > > Cheers, > M > > -- > pgp: http://www.darklogik.org/pub/pgp/pgp.txt > B776 43DC 8A5D EAF9 2126 9A67 A7DA 390F DEFF 9dD1 >
