Hello,

i just reinstalled a debian sarge with a kernel 2.6.11 (i tried the 2.6.8-2 just before),
i have downloaded the latest nvidia drivers for my geforce 4,

i have installed them and updated the XFree config file with the famous "nvidia" line

in the past it was used to work perfectly and now the fps said by "glxgears" is incredibly low compared to past installations with 2.6.8-2i386 and the same computer (graphic ard too of course) ...

i have only a score of 900 with glxgears with nothing using the cpu....

can u advise me plz ?

(i made a network install)

The 2.6.8 series of kernels will be the best choice for you, since the number of commercial drivers working with the latest release has dropped at a horrible rate since 2.6.8.1, that's why i'm still using this kernel.
Try downgrading to 2.6.8.1 and se what happens.

Cheers for the advices man

this is the same with kernel 2.6.8-2 (i cant find the 2.6.8-1 sources on debian mirrors) and i tested too with old drivers (march 2005) and this is still the same...

i will continue to test with older drivers

thank you very much for your help
