nVidia card problems

[flatfacex]

Hey. I don't know if this is the right forum for this question, but I suspect that this might be a kernel issue. If not, it's something to do with hardware :/

I don't really know what happened, but as of a couple of months ago my game frame rates have suffered majorly. It doesn't matter what it is; even glxgears shows about 4fps. I'm on Gentoo (duh), xorg 6.8.0-r3, ck-sources 2.6.10-ck1, GF4 MX420Athlon XP 2100+, 512mb DDR333. This never used to be a problem, but I really don't know why.

My current .config: http://flatface.net:8000/~flatface/logs ... 2.6.10-ck1
dmesg output: http://flatface.net:8000/~flatface/logs-nv/dmesg
lspci output: http://flatface.net:8000/~flatface/logs-nv/lspci
glxgears snapshot: http://flatface.net:8000/~flatface/logs-nv/glxgears.png
xorg.conf: http://flatface.net:8000/~flatface/logs-nv/xorg.conf

Or just get a directory listing from http://flatface.net:8000/~flatface/logs-nv/

I really hate having to boot into Windows for things like HL2. Any help would be appreciated.

Comment out the following line in your xorg.conf and restart X

Code: Select all

    Load	"dri"

If that doesn't work, check to see if you have direct rendering by typing the following in a console:

Code: Select all

glxinfo | grep direct

It may also be helpful if you post what version of Xorg and what version of the Nvidia drivers you are using.

Hey. Thanks for the suggestions, but they don't seem to work. I said that my xorg version was 6.8.0-r3, but I tried updating it just now and it doesn't seem to help. I'm using the latest (1.0.6629-1) nVidia drivers, both kernel and glx. I killed dri, but it doesn't seem to do anything. Apparently direct rendering is on.

can't seem to load any of the files you posted above

is the nvidia module loaded? lsmod?
