How about resizing glxgears?
Are you wondering about changing results at different sizes?
DONT USE GLXGEARS AS BENCHMARK!!!!
| Code: | bash-2.05b$ glxgears
13585 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2717.000 FPS
14690 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2938.000 FPS
40402 frames in 5.0 seconds = 8080.400 FPS
49903 frames in 5.0 seconds = 9980.600 FPS
48127 frames in 5.0 seconds = 9625.400 FPS
42163 frames in 5.0 seconds = 8432.600 FPS
X connection to :0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown).
bash-2.05b$

Try DOOM3 at 640x480, and then 1280x1024, do you see different fps? It's the same  |

| I emerged doom3-demo on my Athlon 1800 last night - it ran like molasses. utter torture. I am emerging it now on my high-end machine at work right now - how exactly do I get an FPS measurement from doom3? |

doesnt work for me.
running xorg with composite.
geforce 440mx.
i get the nvidia logo with a cursor. if i switch the screen away from x and back, i get a black screen with cursor and some garbage in the top left corner.
if i put "NvAgp" "1" or "3" in xorg.conf, it makes no difference.
if i put "NvAgp" "2" the screen switches from Nvidia logo to gdm background (sounds good right?) but then i get the gnome splash drawn on top of the gdm background and it all locks up and goes to hell.
ive done some googling for "nvidia 6629 geforce 440MX" and i found a thread on nvnews.net where a guy called "Xander" who claims to work for nvidia seems to imply that this is a known problem, and that owners of older cards have no choice but to revert to an older driver, and wait for a newer driver to fix this.
i only hope that nvidia /do/ try and fix this problem with future releases... |

I had the same problem. Reverting nvidia-kernel and nvidia-glx and all seems well again.
I have a Nvidia motherboard (Nforce2 or whatever it is called) and am using the built-in display chip which is equivalent to a geforce 440mx.
Dang.
Here is the link to the Nvidia page on the 6629 driver:
http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_ia32_1.0-6629.html
No mention of a problem in the Readme. |

Same for me. I have a Riva TNT2 which works very fine with the v.6111 driver but not with the v.6629. Weird beacause i used to install the 6629 ebuild before it became offical and it had worked at that time! |

I'm also getting the invalid module format problem, using 2.6.10-r5 and 6111-r3 i believe, i'm using an nvidia geforce mx 100/200 which is actually pci and not agp, i have rebuilt the kernel and re-emerged nvidia-kernel several times to no avail, I'm not getting any other errors that i know of
Nvidia module will not load at all, modprobe -f nvidia only leads to a locked up black screen instantly at X start (xorg latest stable as of last night)
I will gladly return any outputs and give anything i haven't a shot in hopes to resolve this |

|
|
Hi,
I'm running the latest xorg-x11 with the nvidia driver. I recall using the same ebuild as I have now to build xorg-x11.
I turned of pic,hardened and dll-loader and used vanilla profile with gcc, so I'm pretty sure I don't have dllloader issues. It does say "module loader present" when I start X.
I'm getting unresolved symbols in fb....... when I start X. I did some googling and in June and August there were posts about Xorg-x11 cvs breaking the nvidia driver. Has it happened again? They plan to do a new release soon with "binary driver compatability" so this issue would be top at of there list.. or am I just doing something wrong. Using links - so I can't cut and past right now, but I'll pu thte logs on a website soon.
Cheers,
Luke |

|

since I've done my re-installation I haven't had much luck. Before I had 3000 fps in glx gears now I get between 300 and 10 (yes it fluculates!)
I'll let you know when I find the fix, this new driver is meant to give a performance boost but something's gone wrong here

Just ran into that myself. Gave me nvidia problems. I answered yes when doing oldconfig, but didn't think they would screw up something that a lot of programs look for. Was just getting ready to recompile the kernel, but thought would look here first and this confirmed my suspicions.
So to reiterate: Don't set in .config --> general setup --> local version - append to kernel release (NEW) option in the kernel.
It will screw up your system.
Not sure what it is good for. But here is DSD's explaination was to why doing a 'make oldconfig' isn't always a good idea:
| Quote: |
CONFIG_LOCALVERSION (introduced in linux 2.6.9) - this allows you to choose something to add to your version string. so setting this as "-dsd" would give me a "2.6.9-dsd" kernel. the problem was that the thousands of "make oldconfig" users interpreted this as a y/n/m question and produced kernels such as 2.6.9-gentoo-r1n (notice the added 'n')
at the time, portage did not support localversion, so when installing external modules (e.g. nvidia-kernel, ati-drivers) it installed them to /lib/modules/2.6.9-gentoo/ and as such, modprobe couldnt find them, so thousands of oldconfig users filed bugs about nvidia being broken / a random y being appended to kernel string / etc. nobody who used menuconfig experienced this. |
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=273205&highlight=localversion
Still, don't need it, so going to make sure it is blank.

How can naming of the kernel binary and modules path affect nvidia performance???
I don't have that enabled anyway

I didn't keep it very long to highly investigate it. You would have thought it wouldn't have mattered if I remember what saw correctly.
Nvidia looks for the /usr/src/linux-version for you kernel build, it had a 'y' appended to the end of it, but if remember right it also appended one after the /lib/modules/kernel-version (yep, still there cause I didn't delete it after recompiled) (ie. 2.6.10-gentoo-r6y). Also noticed when typed in 'uname -r' it had a 'y' appended after it.
So with everything having the same name, you would have thought it didn't matter. I guess somewhere in there that the programmer didn't think about it doesn't have the 'y' (or 'n' or if you actually gave it a extension name) after it.
The weirdest thing is there is a /lib/modules/2.6.10-gentoo-r6y/video/nvidia.ko . So I would say it did build correctly. Why when trying to startx it didn't work? I have nvidia set to load in my /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 so it should have loaded like normal. But after several reboot attempts there was no nvidia devices in /dev . The only thing didn't do was 'modprobe nvidia' didn't think about it cause rebooted several times and it is set to load at boot.
Or ??, I just know for some reason it doesn't/didn't work. So changed localversion to blank, recompiled and everything is back up and working.

I have a hacked localversion, and the NVIDIA drivers work for me...
| Code: | warren@Tidus ~ $ uname -r
2.6.10-nitro4-mm-Tidus |
wonder what's going on with everybody else?

Ya, I would like to know also. Well, might try it again here soon and see if can figure out
if it was something I did wrong.
Probably be busy for awhile though, just put nptl in and recompiling. Then going to have
to rebuild the entire toolkit several times. So don't dare reboot to a new kernel during that.
