|
|
Hello, I have an odd problem. Using the most latest tux racer demo and the nvidia driver (I tested 2880 and 2960), when turn on shadows in the menu, the game will come to a complete slow down (1-2fps), but will return to blazingly fast when the shadow goes off screen. I'm very confused at this, since under SuSe 7.3/8.0, it ran perfectly. I have an Athlon 1ghz, geforce II mx, and 3 hundered something megs of ram, in case that might help. Also, slightly of topic, but semi related to gaming. On speeding up my system, I have read that I should put my host name in /ect/hosts. The problem is I have AT&T broad band (also I am using a Belkin router), and I can not figure out what to put as the host name, as ATT wont give me one (they use DHCP for it now I believe), so any ideas? Also, how do I chage X's runlevel (might speed things up ^_^)? And lastly, one more stupid question about speed optimizations, but how can one tell using LD_DEBUG=statistics if something has been compiled using combreloc? Thanks so much,
