This sounds reasonable. I have a 6800GT and I was getting 3000+
FPS. However, recently, my setup has dropped the hardware
accelleration again and I'm down to ~400FPS or less. The XFree86 log
file has the following in it:
Symbol __glXActiveScreens from module
/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libdri.a is unresolved!
The nVidia FAQ in /usr/share/doc/nvidia-glx revealed I'm not supposed
to include the dri module so I took it out, and it did get rid of the
error above, but it did not fix the problem with glxgears, i.e., I'm
still seeing only ~400FPS, not the 3000+ I was getting before.
Does anyone have any good tips or leads as to how to debug this issue?
