Quoting Uwe Laverenz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Hi,
I have a strange problem with the NVidia drivers on my machines: when I start a glx-application (glxgears, quake2...) the performance is normal. If I make another attempt a few minutes later, the performance is ridiculous slow.
Example:
glxgears, 1st run: 6400 FPS glxgears, 2nd run: 17 FPS
FreeBSD-versions: 5.2.1-p9 and 4.10-STABLE Nvidia-cards: GF4-Ti/4200 Boards: Asus A7V-600 (Athlon XP)
If have tried several combinations of AGP-Support (FreeBSD vs. NVidia), nvidia-sysctls, XF86Configs ... without success.
The next strange thing: if I wait several minutes, the performance is normal again, but only for 1 attempt, the next one ist slow again. This makes playing Quake2 impossible, because connecting a server includes a "vid_restart" (-> sloooow).
I guess that something gets "locked" somehow. The next thing I want to try is an older 4.x version.
Could this be a problem with the VIA KT600 chipset? Does anybody else experience this problem or am I the only lamer playing Quake on FreeBSD? ;)
thank you for any help, Uwe
I don't think so, I started observing this problem as well with my via k8t800 based amd64 system. It wasn't doing this at all until around end of May or beginning of June. I think a commit around that time messed something up.
