I get
Code:
NVIDIA: could not open the device file /dev/nvidiactl (Permission denied).
It's good to know that my system is really secure.
(Don't worry that was just because I haven't rebooted since I updated my drivers.)

I have an old GeForce2 MX/MX 400, and all I get is
Code:
1459 frames in 5.0 seconds = 291.771 FPS
1451 frames in 5.0 seconds = 290.181 FPS
1447 frames in 5.0 seconds = 289.307 FPS
1441 frames in 5.0 seconds = 288.063 FPS
1441 frames in 5.0 seconds = 288.164 FPS
1436 frames in 5.0 seconds = 287.127 FPS
1423 frames in 5.0 seconds = 284.531 FPS
But, then, I don't do any "gaming," so I don't need any great 3D performance. (Oh, this is about the same as I got in FC3 amd FC4.)

Dang, you must not be using direct rendering (hardware acceleration) as my lowly MX 440 gets the following on FC4:

[surfer@localhost ~]$ glxgears
5329 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1065.800 FPS
6628 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1325.600 FPS
6629 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1325.800 FPS
6628 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1325.600 FPS
6628 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1325.600 FPS
6626 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1325.200 FPS
6629 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1325.800 FPS
6629 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1325.800 FPS

Which is sufficient to run every native OpenGL 3D game I've tried. Wouldn't attempt running Windows DirectX games via Cedega with it, especially those that require a pixel shader... but anyway.

You can check for the presence of hardware acceleration with glxinfo BTW:

[surfer@localhost ~]$ glxinfo
name of display: :0.0
display: :0 screen: 0
direct rendering: Yes
server glx vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation
server glx version string: 1.3

I guess I'm doing something else wrong then.
Code:
$ glxinfo | head
name of display: :0.0
display: :0  screen: 0
direct rendering: Yes
server glx vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation
server glx version string: 1.3
server glx extensions:    GLX_EXT_visual_info, GLX_EXT_visual_rating, GLX_SGIX_fbconfig,
    GLX_SGIX_pbuffer, GLX_SGI_video_sync, GLX_SGI_swap_control
client glx vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation
client glx version string: 1.3
I also have mtrr set:
Code:
$ cat /proc/mtrr
reg00: base=0x00000000 (   0MB), size=1024MB: write-back, count=1
reg01: base=0xe0000000 (3584MB), size=  64MB: write-combining, count=1

couple other useful places to gather info, just to see if AGP slot might be underutilized:

Code:
[surfer@localhost ~]$ cat /proc/driver/nvidia/cards/0
Model:           GeForce4 MX 440 with AGP8X
IRQ:             11
Video BIOS:      04.18.20.21.a6
Card Type:       AGP

[surfer@localhost ~]$ cat /proc/driver/nvidia/agp/host-bridge
Host Bridge:     PCI device 1106:0259
Fast Writes:     Supported
SBA:             Supported
AGP Rates:       8x 4x
Registers:       0x1f000a1b:0x00000b12

[surfer@localhost ~]$ cat /proc/driver/nvidia/agp/card
Fast Writes:     Supported
SBA:             Supported
AGP Rates:       8x 4x

[surfer@localhost ~]$ cat /proc/driver/nvidia/agp/status

AGP Rate:        8x

Ah, I see the difference: My card is a GeForce2 MX/MX 400, with no "fast write" capability. So I suspect that the response I posted above is about what I should expect.

As I said, I don't really have any need for a better display response right now.

But thanks for the response. Maybe one of these days I'll see if I can find a newer card at a junk shop.

And this was with "fast write" disabled? Wow.
