Hi,
I'm using an onboard Nvidia 6100 card
CPU athlon64 3000+
xorg 6.8.2
Nvidia drivers 8774 (tried 8762 too)

my xorg.conf says
Code:

Section "Module"
    Load           "type1"
    Load           "glx"
    Load           "v4l"
    Load           "freetype"
    Load           "dbe"
    Load           "extmod"
EndSection

Section "Device"

    Identifier     "Device[0]"
    Driver         "nvidia"
    VendorName     "NVidia"
    BoardName      "GeForce 6100"
    Screen          0
EndSection

Section "Screen"
    Identifier     "Screen[0]"
    Device         "Device[0]"
    Monitor        "Monitor[0]"
    DefaultDepth    24
    Option         "NoLogo" "1"
    Option         "DigitalVibrance" "0"
    Option         "NvAGP" "0"
    SubSection     "Display"
        Depth       16
        Modes      "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600"
    EndSubSection
    SubSection     "Display"
        Depth       24
        Modes      "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600"
    EndSubSection
EndSection


Also, the Direct rendering works
Code:
glxinfo|grep direct*
direct rendering: Yes


and with glxgears I get about
Code:
656.800 FPS


So, my questions are:
a) My motherboard does not have AGP but PCI-express. Do I need to enable agpgart in the kernel?
b) What NvAGP to use in xorg.conf ?
c) Isn't the glxgears framerate very low? With my 5 years old GeForce3 in the same system I had about 2500 FPS.
d) Since my direct rendering works and I am able to run games like NWN and Unreal Tournament why Cedega's 3d Acceleration test fails?

thanks in advance

b) What NvAGP to use in xorg.conf ? You shouldn't use NvAGP with PCI-E

So my xorg.conf is fine as it is, right?

There's no real point of having
Code:
    Option         "NvAGP" "0"
at all.
Anyways, your glxgears is quite slow. My 6600GT pulls up 8,000FPS in glxgears.

It is slow yes :(
that's where cedega's tests fails and says that my video card isn't configured properly.
What could be wrong?

I added
Code:
BusID          "PCI:00:05:0"
in my xorg.conf in "Section Device" file but nothing...

With
Code:
 lsmod |grep nvidia
I got
Code:
nvidia               5425844  12
i2c_core               24856  3 w83627ehf,i2c_isa,nvidia
is that normal? Why i2c_core? Shouldn't say something about pci-express?
