 |

Hi, I've got my system working well...
Nvidia GeForce Ti 4600
Abit Ic7
SB Live! (under alsa)
PIV Prescott etc.
Everything seems to run smoothly (it's gentoo!) glxgears is ok (~4900fps) except ut2004 & Americas Army (possibly due to Xig not found??).
The only way to describe it is like severe lag, but it occurs offline as well. I'd try to tweak something, but have no clue to the area that could be causing it. The 'lag' occurs more often the longer the game is running. The music/voices keep playing while the graphics/mouse freeze, then after a while there is bit of a flash as if the frames were catching up..
eventually tho, the pauses get longer, and take longer to unpause, eventually the keyboard lights stop working and I kick the reset button.. any ideas guys??
Some info:
| Code: | uname -a
Linux g1 2.6.11-ck3 #2 SMP Tue Mar 29 15:28:24 BST 2005 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.00GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux

I'm on nvidia-kernel (and glx) version 6629...[/code] which i believe is the best version for that nv card.
Xorg-x11 is compiled without dlloader (due to 2.6.11)
From xorg.conf
| Code: |
Section "Device"
Identifier "GeForceTi4600"
Driver "nvidia"
Option "NvAGP" "1"

Option "EnablePageFlip" "True"

thanks for the reply, but it didnt fix it.
The only difference I noticed was the extra error from ut2004-demo (used to test)
| Code: | ut2004-demo
WARNING: ALC_EXT_capture is subject to change!
Xlib: extension "XiG-SUNDRY-NONSTANDARD" missing on display ":0.0".
|
could it be the sound system? what does AA / ut2004 use? |

still working on it....
running window'd I've spotted that the X process goes to 99.9% cpu load when it pauses...
so that rules out sound? might be a mouse thing??
how would you find out what X is doing at a particular moment in time?
(thanks guys) |

after 48 hours research... and the ebuild for the new driver
I did the following:
- switched to gentoo-sources (from ck, will try again soon)
- emerge the latest 7174 drivers
now it all works really well.. |
