The title really says it all... I have a fresh install of FC2 this is my first time using Winex3 or any thing of the sort really. I have problems playing Warcraft 3 because it is soo laggy you cant do much of any thing. I wanted to know if there was a way I could fix this. I have a compaq (I know I should have gotten a Dell) 64 mb Geforce 2 XF, Half a gig of ram DDR, a 1.8 gig processor pentium III. Can any one direct me to a thread that already has this problem solved if it already has been? If you need any more specs just tell me.

What kind of lag? Lag when playing multiplayer? Or low fps? If it is low fps make sure you have direct rendering (glxinfo).

Well its really low fps. Well thank you I took a look and I found that I don't have direct rendering enabled... Could you or any one help me find out if I have it and where I can download it or enable it if I already have it.

Have you installed the nVidia drivers from the nVidia site? As far as I have heard, you need version 0.6106 to work with FC2.

Thanks.

Now I have downloaded the Driver and am currently figureing out how to configure the xorg.config. Could any one give me pointers in this field.


^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Thanks for your help. I wuold have defenately not been able to do this without you guys and this awsome site... I managed to get my xorg configured and I have tested and it is all thumbs up...

Thanks again for your help.

Well, heres my WHOLE HOW TO on instaling nvidia drivers, so u can make sure u did it right, and/or just show u my whole how to.
NOTE: Make sure u have ur kernel source installed.
1. Download drivers from www.nvidia.com
2. go into root. (I dont think it works by just typing su, I believe u NEED to be in root, its like u cant use lsmod when u "su")
3. Go into ur terminal, which is your START button - system tools - terminal, and type "init 3" .
4. cd into the directory where u downloaded the drivers (ie. /home/fourevilmonkies/)
5. type "sh ./NVID" then press tab to finish the rest.
6. When done, type "startx". And ur xserver should start.
7. go into a terminal, and type this. (I use gedit, it comes with gnome, kde comes with kwrite, just so u know) "#: gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf" your config should pop up.
8. Scroll down to "section modules" and make sure Load "glx" is in ther, and make sure Load "GLcore" and "dri" are not. It should look like this....

Section "Module"
Load "dbe"
Load "extmod"
Load "fbdevhw"
Load "glx"
Load "record"
Load "freetype"
Load "type1"
EndSection

9. Then scroll down to section "device". And where it says drive change it so it says "nvidia" and not "nv" or "vesa". This should look something like this...

Section "Device"
Identifier "Videocard0"
Driver "nvidia"
VendorName "Videocard vendor"
BoardName "NVIDIA GeForce 2 GTS (generic)"
EndSection

Hope this helps.

PS: I dont know if u know how to do this or not, so forgive me if u think I thought u were an idiot at linux, I just dont know u. :]

--WARNING--
For some reason--I get this I dont know about others-- when u change ur video resolution settings, or color depth, ur nvidia module BREAKS, and ur xorg.conf goes back to what it was before u edited it, and u might have to reinstall, if changing the driver back to nvidia FAILS. My suggestion is, if ur going to game alot, change ur color depth, and screen res, thats the section BELOW Section "Device" to how u want it to be. So u dont have to go throught the shi* I went to change my resolution, and color depth. PEACE! =D
