Hello Nick, > I don't know if this has any relevance now, but I experienced similar poor > performance a while ago with a machine who's configuration was very > similar to yours (Athlon 1000, Nvidia FX5200) and it seemed related to the > Nvidia binary driver current at the time (a couple of years ago). Definitivly could be ... all my systems are equiped with NVidia cards (GF488Go, FX5200, GF6600) and I am using the nvidia binary driver on all of my systems. However throwing their closed-source beast away is not an option for me, from time to time I play 3d games or enjoy opengl/shader development for fun. Many others also use the nvidia driver, maybe theres a way it could be solved? It really could be this combination, maybe it could be worked arround (if easy) or someone could file a bugreport at nvidia, however I guess they would like to see specific claims. Does anybody know a better way for profiling X/X requests than oprofile? Thanks a lot for reading, lg Clemens _______________________________________________ gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
