Hello,
I've got a following configuration:
Arch (32bit version), AMD Athlon 64 3000, nVidia GeForce 6600
05:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV43 [GeForce 6600] (rev a2)I've installed xorg
pacman -S xorgand nvidia drivers
pacman -S nvidiaUnfortunately I see it's not working property. When I am making a simple test (I just click on window corner and then resize it) a poor performence is felt. The window isn't resized fluently.
Here's my /etc/X11/xorg.conf:

The first one:

use this xorg.conf:

EndSection

EndSectionis it faster? also, post lspci -v and copy the two nvidia lists

It works slow as well.
But I've noticed a strange thing. I am testing window resizing on "System Monitor" and when I don't do anything the CPU Usage looks normal (1-2%) but when I'm resizing the window the usage jumps up to 100%
lspci -v output:

I can't really see anything wrong, I once forgot to put my user in the video group and killed any chance of hardware accel. Only thing I got on this one.
Offline
Hmmm... my non-root user is added to video group.
I tested same PC on kubuntu (raw install) and...
gloxgears:
17527 frames in 5.0 seconds = 3505.240 FPS
19195 frames in 5.0 seconds = 3838.954 FPS
19305 frames in 5.0 seconds = 3860.931 FPS
19319 frames in 5.0 seconds = 3863.662 FPSIt's twice faster.
Now I'll try to copy configuration from kubuntu into arch.

glxgears is not a benchmark... some one should sticky that. http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Glxgea … _Benchmark
Offline
It's been a while since I used Nvidai, but...
1. Shouldn't you have to load a module for it to work?
2. Isn't there an app to automatically write you app an xorg file for a nvidia driver?
Offline
glxgears is not a benchmark... some one should sticky that. http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Glxgea … _Benchmark
In an instance where you are comparing the same machine against itself, I find it be quite reasonable to use glxgears. A 100 points either way is margin of error, a 1000+, there is a problem somewhere..
Anyway. Do you have hal running?
Only other thing that comes to mind is I think ubuntu is still on the 180 drivers and Arch is ob the 185's, I wouldn't think this could be an issue but I don't know for sure.
