HelpaN00b_nvidia-1.31.02-4
Well...I was going to link to the other forum that I originally posted this in because I had a link to my .log file, but this is my first post so url's are not allowed. If more info is needed please let me know. I appreciate your help!!
Here's my problem: After installing the latest driver release for my Geforce3 ti500 and editing my XF86Config file, everything initially seemed O.K. When I rebooted I got the nvidia full screen logo and thought I was on easy street. WRONG!! :confused: I installed UT2003 and wanted to see how fast it smoked with this fresh linux install 'cause I'm a n00b to linux and was pretty excited. Well, in the terminal, when I launch the game, I get the error: Xlib: extension "Xig-Sundry-nonstandard" missing on display ":0.0". The game doesn't crash or anything, it's just unplayably slow. Here is my xf86config file: # XFree86 4 configuration created by pyxf86config Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "Default Layout" Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0 InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer" InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard" InputDevice "DevInputMice" "AlwaysCore" EndSection Section "Files" # RgbPath is the location of the RGB database.

Here we go, this will answer your question:
Code:
(sec-03) EDITING YOUR XF86CONFIG FILE |
yeah take out the dir module.
also try nvidia's AGP option for their driver, it gave me an exta 50fps in glxgears, and that was wit and ancient Geforce 2 with 32mb. check to make sure direct rendering is enabled with: glxinfo | less you should see direct rendering set to Yes. |
Don't mean to sound like a dummy, but I am one when it comes to this topic. How would I go about enabling it if it shows "no"?
Unfortunately, I can't check now because I'm at work. |
I'll wager its already enabled, I think your problem is that the nvidia driver is conflicting with the dir module on your system, if you comment out the lines or XF86config as stated in the readme all will be good.
|
It was enabled and I took out the dir module. Problem still persists. With glxgears, I get an average of 5.0fps which is absolutely horrible. In the glxinfo log file there are no errors, but I do get the following warnings:
(WW) (1856x1392,Monitor0) mode clock 218.3MHz exceeds DDC maximum 210MHz (WW) (1920x1440,Monitor0) mode clock 234MHz exceeds DDC maximum 210MHz (WW) (1920x1200,Monitor0) mode clock 230MHz exceeds DDC maximum 210MHz (WW) (2048x1536,Monitor0) mode clock 266.95MHz exceeds DDC maximum 210MHz (WW) NVIDIA(0): Not using mode "1024x768" (height 1536 is larger than (WW) NVIDIA(0): EDID-specified maximum 1200) (WW) NVIDIA(0): Not using mode "960x720" (height 1440 is larger than (WW) NVIDIA(0): EDID-specified maximum 1200) (WW) NVIDIA(0): Not using mode "928x696" (height 1392 is larger than (WW) NVIDIA(0): EDID-specified maximum 1200) (WW) NVIDIA(0): Not using mode "896x672" (height 1344 is larger than (WW) NVIDIA(0): EDID-specified maximum 1200) (WW) NVIDIA(0): Not using mode "576x384": (WW) NVIDIA(0): horizontal sync start (589) not a multiple of 8 (WW) NVIDIA(0): Not using mode "360x200": (WW) NVIDIA(0): Failed to verify AGP usage Could these be the problem? I'm pulling for straws here 'cause it seems to me that everythings cool. I don't know jack though, so hopefully someone has the knowledge to help!! Thanks for all of your help so far, and in the future!! |

If you are using the newest NVIDIA driver from www.nvidia.com that may be causing the problem of 5.0 fps in glxgears. I had the same problem. The newest driver listed on nvidia's site is 5328. You can try the 4496 driver on www.nvidia.com or go to www.minion.de and download the 5328 driver from their which has been changed to fix this problem. Hopefully this helps. Your XF86Config appears to be fine since you have edited it accordingly.
Also you might try: Option "NvAGP" "integer" Configure AGP support. Integer argument can be one of: 0 : disable agp 1 : use NVIDIA's internal AGP support, if possible 2 : use AGPGART, if possible 3 : use any agp support (try AGPGART, then NVIDIA's AGP) Please note that NVIDIA's internal AGP support cannot work if AGPGART is either statically compiled into your kernel or is built as a module, but loaded into your kernel (some distributions load AGPGART into the kernel at boot up). Default: 3 (the default was 1 until after 1.0-1251). |
Thanks for the help. Problem is still persistant though : /
There are no errors in my log file, but there are the following warnings: (WW) (1856x1392,Monitor0) mode clock 218.3MHz exceeds DDC maximum 210MHz (WW) (1920x1440,Monitor0) mode clock 234MHz exceeds DDC maximum 210MHz (WW) (1920x1200,Monitor0) mode clock 230MHz exceeds DDC maximum 210MHz (WW) (2048x1536,Monitor0) mode clock 266.95MHz exceeds DDC maximum 210MHz (WW) NVIDIA(0): Not using mode "1024x768" (height 1536 is larger than (WW) NVIDIA(0): EDID-specified maximum 1200) (WW) NVIDIA(0): Not using mode "960x720" (height 1440 is larger than (WW) NVIDIA(0): EDID-specified maximum 1200) (WW) NVIDIA(0): Not using mode "928x696" (height 1392 is larger than (WW) NVIDIA(0): EDID-specified maximum 1200) (WW) NVIDIA(0): Not using mode "896x672" (height 1344 is larger than (WW) NVIDIA(0): EDID-specified maximum 1200) (WW) NVIDIA(0): Not using mode "576x384": (WW) NVIDIA(0): horizontal sync start (589) not a multiple of 8 (WW) NVIDIA(0): Not using mode "360x200": (WW) NVIDIA(0): Failed to verify AGP usage Could this be the problem? If so, how would I remedy it? I haven't messed with the NvAGP integer yet, and will report back when I do. Doing that now. |
I get this very same error (the 1st post), but I haver removed everything nvidia's readme said (load "dri" and that other load thing).
Some time ago there was a error that blocked all non-root users to use opengl software. I solved that by deleting couple lines in some file, just like nvidia's readme said. (Just mentiod this if it has anything to do with my problem.) Help? |
Just wanted to follow up, I fixed it in Redhat 9 by re-installing it on runlevel "3"
# su - password # telinit 3 CD to directory where nividia.run file that you downloaded is (Dir)# sh nvidia_driver-file.run # telinit 5 Now change the XF86Config file as described in the readme and you'll be in business. Hope this helps any newbies out there, this driver gave me the LARGEST headache so far with linux. |
