nvidia tnt2 m64 and xorg drivers

jmrbcu · 2010-01-06 17:06:55

hi folks, I have an nvidia tnt2 m64 in my linux box but I need a propper way to get a decent performance. First of old, I can't afford a new card. Well, I have tried the nv driver but fps are about 22, this is reported from glxgears. With nouveau driver, I can't get glxgear to run and with an old version of the driver (this was before I reinstall the machine), I can only get about 30 fps. Do I have to enable KMS for nouveau, how to do that?. Is posible to get a superior performance? With W$ I get a reasonable performace.

PS: I have an S3 Virge VX with 64 Mb and I an error like this: dlopen fail ... cannot find the symbol: VgaIoShared ....

Does http://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra … idia-96xx/ work for you ?

my card is an nvidia tnt2 m64, I think that nvidia-96xx are not for my card, I am wrong?

You are correct you need the 71.xx series of drivers. I have no clue if it would work the latest xorg though.

I don't think it work with the new xorg so, any clues to get a decent performance?

Yes, buy a card that is not 10 years old !
If you feel like hacking, you could also try the nouveau driver.
if you don't feel like hacking and want to keep your 10 years-old card, then also keep 10-years old software Well ok, you can maybe keep software a bit more recent, maybe 1-2 years old. At least for xorg.

There is supposed to be a resurrected nouveau classic mesa/dri driver in the works, it would be nice to get the git branch on AUR because I have a still have a perfectly capable tnt2pro that would like to play openarena

The nv0x classic mesa driver works to some extent (e.g. I played "prboom" on it), but it's way behind the nv[12]x ones. So... I wouldn't advise it unless you want to get your hands dirty and fix stuff by yourself.
