Right now, I'm trying to figure out how to get decent graphic performance on that node. I recently installed the nvidia
driver (tried
to use the Rpmforge rpm, but the graphic card demanded the .96xx driver). Regardless, my 4.5 AMD 2200XP unit with a Radeon
gets appx. 670
FPS, while the AMD 3200XP with the nvidia (and matching driver from nvidia's site) gets about 300 FPS. It's the same with the
nv driver. I
cured this on the 4.5 by using frame buffer, dri and some
other things
in the Xorg.conf. I've got to resolve this for the faster system.
BTW, on the slower system, IIRC, the FPS was in the mid 30s, not 300.
I believe with the nvidias you can't have compositing and glx at the same time unless you add this option:
Option "AllowGLXWithComposite" "True"In your graphics card section. I believe it is the GL off-loading that is giving you the premo FPS.
Thanks. I'll give that a try this weekend (I hope). Been doing some long hours at work and all my recreational time seems to be spent sleeping!
