wouldn't it be possible to just include the old driver as nvidia-legacy or something like this? This old motherboard I am currently running on just has PCI-slots  |

My Fedora install of UT2004 can crush it in subjective speed, at 800x600. Settings can be cranked much higher, without fear. And finally, I can do the same using my Gentoo 2004.3 install to play the same game. My loading screens are almost instant, for all levels except certain baroque Assault maps. And with the effort I put into my Gentoo setup, a tiny compromise gets use of 1024x768, settings near full. This is as of patch 3270-1. After that, something terrible happened on the Linux versions of the patches. Something made it slow as hell. I don't even run the ECE on Linux. Unplayable. On Windows, it will work. At some point I'll try the latest patch, to see if the Linux codepath is still screwed. But for all patches (released and beta) until 3270-1, Linux is my preferred mode of play.

And so, just for giggles, I tried the patch 3355, the ECE patch, and then 3355. (3355 included all previous patches - I thought I could re-apply this, instead of incremental patching.) The game now plays at what must be the hardware limit for my gear. Simply amazing. I can play all the game types. Those great new vehicles cause no performance issues. I can finally play the game faster than on my Fedora2 install. Wow. No stutters of any kind. With a slight consession in detail, I can even play ONS-Panalesh-SE and AS-Confexia. Those deluxe maps are well beyond my hardware spec.
But this isn't a triumph. You can't expect the layman or the novice to go through what I went through. Several dozen compiled kernels, 4 total reinstalls of 2004.3, endless digging and lurking on messageboards. I tinker and explore. But many don't need to be systems admins of their own machine. They need the stuff to work as advertised, from Day One. This very battle, plus the endless hardware upgrade chase, point to the future dominance of consoles. If there were a Playstation 2 version of Unreal Tournament 2004, I would have saved the misery. And Xbox and Doom3 cost less than the upgrades needed for a computer to handle the PC version of the game. Hell, less than an NVIDIA card that would do the game justice. Finally, there's too many performance-altering variables in a PC game. Even more on the Linux side of things. People need to put away those "ready for the desktop" stickers.
I haven't determined if this good performance is the new combo of 2.6.11.10 and 7664, or the fact that I didn't use emerge for either. There's no doubt using the nvidia installer for previous attempts gave me less stutters than the emerge of the same drivers. |

With coolbits, the overclocking settings are not permanent... I restarted today and my overclocked settings were gone. Does anyone know the xorg options to set the mhz? or is there an easier way to get nvidia-settings to remember?

To get nvidia-settings to remember you can add the following line to your .xinitrc file.
| Code: | | /usr/bin/nvidia-settings --load-config-only |

Would this be related to the problem that I am having? |

| yes... that's the problem.. update to 7667 and you'll be fine.. but it's not yet in portage, so you'll have to make the ebuild yourself and add it to your overlay directory, or just wait.. |
