Makes me sad too... so sad I'm going to try OSX for a month and possibly move to that. Until NVIDIA gets their act together, I've tried the following with various degrees of success:
My fix ------- sudo apt-get install xserver-xgl This works way better than any other solution for me, however xgl doesn't work with all nvidia drivers (ok with the nvidia-glx-new 169.12 for me). XGL has some weird minor side-effects too, but mostly good for me. 110fps versus 10fps with proper driver is an improvement! Proper way ---------- VSYNC: Appending the "Option "DynamicTwinView" "false"" to my xorg / device section, I now get a muuuch smoother experience. SHADOWS: official driver or sudo ln -s /usr/lib/nvidia/libwfb.so.xserver-xorg-core /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libwfb.so OVERCLOCKING: 1) open /etc/modprobe.conf 2) add the lines: options nvidia NVreg_RegistryDwords="PerfLevelSrc=0x2222" OR options nvidia NVreg_RegistryDwords="PerfLevelSrc=0x3322" options nvidia NVreg_Mobile=1 3) Reboot PIXMAPCACHESIZE Section "Screen" ........ Option "PixmapCacheSize" "200000" ........
