I haven't noticed any differences between xorg and xfree for performance myself, what I have noticed is that nvidia drivers can give very different performance on your hardware depending in the version. Perhaps an older version will give you better performance ? Out of curiosity what are your values for /proc/driver/nvidia/version /proc/driver/nvidia/agp/card /proc/driver/nvidia/agp/host-bridge /proc/driver/nvidia/agp/status That may provide a clue as to why your performance seems a little slow eg On my (Ubuntu) system I get jamie@workhorse:~$ cat /proc/driver/nvidia/version NVRM version: NVIDIA Linux x86_64 NVIDIA Kernel Module 1.0-7174 Tue Mar 22 06:45:40 PST 2005 GCC version: gcc version 3.3.5 (Debian 1:3.3.5-8ubuntu2) jamie@workhorse:~$ cat /proc/driver/nvidia/agp/card Fast Writes: Supported SBA: Not Supported AGP Rates: 4x 2x 1x Registers: 0x1f000017:0x1f000114 jamie@workhorse:~$ cat /proc/driver/nvidia/agp/host-bridge Host Bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8385 [K8T800 AGP] Host Bridge Fast Writes: Supported SBA: Supported AGP Rates: 4x 2x 1x Registers: 0x1f000a17:0x00000114 jamie@workhorse:~$ cat /proc/driver/nvidia/agp/status Status: Enabled Driver: AGPGART AGP Rate: 4x Fast Writes: Enabled SBA: Disabled So I can see that my card is functioning at it's maximum AGP rate, with Fast Writes using AGPGART. Perhaps your card is not functioning at top speed, or the nvidia AGP driver can give better performance ? -- GPG/PGP signed mail preferred. No HTML mail.
