It's a good idea to test the graphics driver with the generic kernel. For test purpose it might be good to remove the lowlatency kernel and for the generic kernel _not_ to set threadirqs or what ever parameter is meant. FWIW 3D screensavers should work with nouveau too, I suspect that only a few games need a proprietary driver. I'm a Ubuntu Studio user too and removed my NVIDA graphics from my computer, using the integrated ATI now, with the FLOSS driver. Something like Google Earth is as fast as with the NVIDIA proprietary and with nouveau, but ATI at the moment does cause less (= no) pain on my machine, but even NVIDIA doesn't cause serious pain. NVIDIA proprietary driver support usually is better than ATI proprietary driver support for Linux. For my ATI there is no proprietary driver that does work with current versions of X. I'm not a gamer. Perhaps it's better to have separated installs, one for games, the other for audio-realtime. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
