Bad nvidia performance

tripox · 2009-07-18 21:16:24

I'm new to Arch Linux and have problems with my video performance. I've installed the latest nvidia drivers and glxgears runs fine. But when I type in aMSN the letters comes about 3 seconds after I've typed. I have a Logitech Pro for Netbooks webcam and the image seems to lag. When I drag windows around in Fluxbox it also lags. And my session is aMSN, fluxbox, firefox and few urxvt terminals.

My xorg.conf:
tripox.dk/xorg.conf

Does someone know if I miss something in my xorg.conf? Flash seems to lag pretty much but I think I've read it's a bug when running flash in Arch x86_64.

Arch Linux is the most FreeBSD-like Linux distro but it is still very hard to understand in some ways. Well, maybe just for me.

Thanks.

Hot did you get this configuration ? Without any xorg.conf configuration file can it work ?

Did you try depth32 instead of depth24 maximum ? Is the resolution okay for you, is this that you waited ?

Well, I used X --configure. I have also tried nvidia-xconfig without luck.
I'll try depth32 but the resolution is fine.

It says depth32 isn't supported. :S

[tripox@trilap ~]$ glxinfo | grep direct shows:

direct rendering: Yes
    GL_EXT_direct_state_access, GL_EXT_draw_range_elements, GL_EXT_fog_coord,

[tripox@trilap ~]$ glxinfo | egrep "glx (vendor|version)" shows:

server glx vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation
server glx version string: 1.4
client glx vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation
