Hi, thanks Maxime, your patch works ok! Well, the nVIDIA driver is
labeled "beta quality" anyway, so, why not upgrade nvidia-driver port to
support 5-CURRENT too? I'm actually using it, with a ugly hack: applying
the patch, compacting and copying the new distfile, editing Makefile to
comment 4.x (/dev entries) stuff and 5.x (IGNORE), make NO_CHECKSUM=yes
install clean.
It's working great, my "big" stress test is the glx version of Quakeforge.
:) I can run it in a range of 40-77 FPS (640x480, fullscreen). glxgears
reports 551.400 FPS in default size.
My hardware setup:
AMD Athlon XP 1800+ (@ 1.53GHz)
ASUS A7N266-VM (nForce based, Integrated GeForce2, sharing 32MB)
256MB DDR266
