I got a couple of additional frames but still. from 13fps to around
15fps now.

I had gtop running at the same time which showed the CPU at around 50%
with X at around 35%.

Here is the relevant part of the updated XF86Config-4 File


Section "Module"
	Load	"bitmap"
	Load	"dbe"
	Load	"ddc"
	Load	"extmod"
	Load	"freetype"
	Load	"glx"
	Load	"int10"
	Load	"pex5"
	Load	"record"
	Load	"speedo"
	Load	"type1"
	Load	"vbe"
	Load	"xie"
EndSection

Section "Device"
	Identifier	"Generic Video Card"
	Driver		"nvidia"
	Option 		"NvAGP" "2"
	Option		"NoLogo" "true"
EndSection

Section "ServerLayout"
	Identifier	"Default Layout"
	Screen		"Default Screen"
	InputDevice	"Generic Keyboard"
	InputDevice	"Configured Mouse"
	InputDevice	"Generic Mouse"
EndSection

Ive also looked throught the readme and here is the output of
/proc/nv/card0

----- Driver Info ----- 
NVRM Version: NVIDIA NVdriver Kernel Module  1.0.2314  Fri Nov 30 19:33:20 PST 2001

What is SBA / FW - Why are they disabled ? Any thoughts.

My system seems to be compliant with other parts of the Readme.

The log file does not flag any warnings / errors with regards to the 
card. Im stumped - any ideas.
