Re: nvidia driver ( GeForce FX 5500 gives 10fps)

[Soenke von Stamm <sstamm@affili.net>]

nvidia-glx diverts some files:

~$ dlocate /usr/lib/libGL.so.1
nvidia-glx: /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.0.7667
nvidia-glx: /usr/lib/libGL.so.1
xlibmesa-gl: /usr/lib/libGL.so.1
xlibmesa-gl: /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2

(dammit, somehow it was possible to show which package diverted a file)

You should temporarily either undivert those (I wouldn't know how to, maybe 
see 'man 8 dpkg-divert') or unsinstall nvidia-glx which also undiverts those 
files.


Hope that helps.

PS: at which priority (nice-level) does Seti run on your machine? Does 'nice 
-n0 glxgears' change anything? (Or perheaps 'nice -n-20 glxgears' as root)
