GLX on NVidia TNT card using XFree86 4?
I've got a Diamond Viper770 video card, which has a Nvidia TNT chip on it.
Using the standard XFree86 4 nv driver, 3D performance is, well, poor. So
I decided to install the driver from NVidia. I downloaded and installed
the nvidia-glx-src and nvidia-kernel-src packages. With those, I built the
nvidia-glx and nvidia-kernel-2.2.18 (yes, I'm using kernel 2.2.18)
packages and installed those, too. Then I reconfigured the X server to use
the new nvidia driver. But 3D performance is still as poor as it was
before. Have I done something wrong and if so, what?
BTW, I have tested the 3D performance by running the GLText demo from
xscreensaver. With a resolution of 1600x1280 at 24bpp, I get about 2 fps.
