    FPS is way too low [drivers installed correctly though]

    Hey

    After doing a reload of my Suse machine, I reinstalled the latest drivers for my graphics card (6200) from the nvidia website.

    When I use glxinfo I get:

    Code:
    name of display: :0.0
display: :0  screen: 0
direct rendering: Yes
server glx vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation
server glx version string: 1.4
server glx extensions:
    GLX_EXT_visual_info, GLX_EXT_visual_rating, GLX_SGIX_fbconfig,
    GLX_SGIX_pbuffer, GLX_SGI_video_sync, GLX_SGI_swap_control,
    GLX_ARB_multisample, GLX_NV_float_buffer, GLX_ARB_fbconfig_float
client glx vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation
client glx version string: 1.4
client glx extensions:
    GLX_ARB_get_proc_address, GLX_ARB_multisample, GLX_EXT_visual_info,
    GLX_EXT_visual_rating, GLX_EXT_import_context, GLX_SGI_video_sync,
    GLX_NV_swap_group, GLX_NV_video_out, GLX_SGIX_fbconfig, GLX_SGIX_pbuffer,
    GLX_SGI_swap_control, GLX_NV_float_buffer, GLX_ARB_fbconfig_float
GLX extensions:
    GLX_EXT_visual_info, GLX_EXT_visual_rating, GLX_SGIX_fbconfig,
    GLX_SGIX_pbuffer, GLX_SGI_video_sync, GLX_SGI_swap_control,
    GLX_ARB_multisample, GLX_NV_float_buffer, GLX_ARB_fbconfig_float,
    GLX_ARB_get_proc_address
OpenGL vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation
OpenGL renderer string: GeForce 6200 TurboCache(TM)/PCI/SSE2/3DNOW!
OpenGL version string: 2.0.2 NVIDIA 87.76
    Which clearly shows that direct rendering is supported, and that the MESA drivers are no longer been used, also for OpenGL

    However, when I run glxgears I get a typical frame rate of around 570 FPS which I'm sure is too low, even for a low end card like mine. In addition to this, I find that Cedega's test fails on 3D Acceleration tests, despite the fact that glxinfo clearly states that I have Direct Rendering.

    I followed the instructions in the how-to above, and replaced my xorg.conf with the nvidia one, however this made no difference whatsoever to my frame rate or the fact that the Cedega test fails.


    This is really getting annoying now, as the graphics are jumpy even on games such as Unreal Tournament 2004 (native linux game)

    Any help would be most appreciated

    I got a similar problem with Fedora Core 5 and solve it by installing the kernel-sources and then using the NVIDIA installer at their webpage.

    glxinfo said direct rendering was enabled but the the rest of the output was wrong for a direct rendering enabled computer

    it should look like this
    Code:
    name of display: :0.0
display: :0  screen: 0
direct rendering: Yes

    Hey thanks for the reply

    I did use the installer from the nvidia website :S and my output which I posted shows what you claim it should look like, this is what is confusing me. It clearly states the glx and open gl providers as nvidia as it should, not mesa

    update on the situation, i tried to run tiny-nvidia-installer --update and it told me the latest nvidia drivers were installed..... yet i still get the failure on cedega and the low frame rate from the gears :S
