GeForce FX 5200 XF86Config
I've been having some problems with my FPS in glxgears on my new Slackware install. I was wondering if anyone with a GeForce FX 5200 could post their XF86Config, so I can check to see what I might be missing that would be cool. I'm using Slack 9.1, but I doubt it really matters. Thanks!

well have you installed the nvidia drivers ? or are you still using the generic driver ?

download the nvidia driver form their website, then run it. Afterwards change one line in your XF86Config with a text editor (I use pico myself). Under your Video Card settings change to driver = "nvidia". That's all there is to it unless you are running the 2.6.x kernel in which case the 5328 driver doesn't install correctly. In this case either download an older driver (like 4496) or get the corrected driver. I wish I could give you a link to the corrected driver, buy I don't remember it offhand :(. If you are running a 2.4.x kernel then the driver on the nvidia website should work fine.

Oh I have the nVidia driver, and things work OK. My problem is, I only get high FPS in glxgears (and StepMania perfoms a little sub-par). I just wanted to compare my XF86Config with someone else because I had it working nicer on my old install of Slackware. It isn't a driver issue, if anything, I just have something a little odd in my Config. That's all

Thank you, also if you could post the average framerate you get in glxgears, that would be great too. Thanks!

Yes I am having the same problem after finally get the Nvidia drivers installed. When I used the latest package installation the drivers were not getting loaded so I went back to 4349.tar.gz version and everything went fine.
However I am now only get slow FPS Code:
7361 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1472.200 FPS |
Hey you know what's funny? If I let I glxgears run and I start doing other things, I get FPS around 3800-4000, but if I let everything else besides glxgears idle, I get the shitty ones. Weeeeeird.
EDIT: I found out if the glxgears window is covered, I get the FPS increase, not if I'm doing something else. Once again... weeeeird |
