nvidia drivers loaded. I think.
I followed the directions I could find on several webpages and got the nvidia.run file to go. I edited my XF86CONFIG then noticed there was no driver section.
So I went back to nVidias docs and based on it edited the XF86CONFIG-4 instead, sure enough there was the section in question. But my videa still seems slow... for example when I choose logoff in gnome I see several slow and obvious screen refeshes as it greys out the screen. Is that normal? And is there any where I can double check if the driver is loading correctly? Mandrake 9.2 BTW. |
can you enable DMA??
open a term window and type this.......hdparm -Tt /dev/hd? substitute drive letters for ? post what you see. |
Do not know if I can enable DMA, I'll try to find out how... as for your command it returned this:
/dev/hda: Timing buffer-cache reads: 648 MB in 2.00 seconds = 324.00 MB/sec Timing buffered disk reads: 90 MB in 3.04 seconds = 29.61 MB/sec /dev/hdc: Timing buffer-cache reads: 656 MB in 2.01 seconds = 326.37 MB/sec Timing buffered disk reads: 4 MB in 3.05 seconds = 1.31 MB/sec |
