Very poor 3d acceleration with nvidia driver.

Hello everyone!

I've had a hard time getting some decent fps from 3d apps on my Arch 64bit.
glxgears runs with a max at 7fps, where Gentoo 32bit gets ~1200fps.
Blender is compeletely unusable.

The GPU is integrated GeForce 6100 with nForce 405 chipset.

The driver I use is nvidia-295.40-2

My Xorg log:

2D rendering seems to work fine, videos are working ok too.

I am using an nvidia's generated xorg.conf, without it, xorg would show a "No screens found" message, didn't change anything there.
The xorg.conf:

This is alreadly known; search the forum for the main thread about this 295.40 regression for chipsets lower than G80.

Indeed this was the problem, thanks for pointing out.
