i just tested the
| Code: | | Option "AccelMethod" "EXA" |
i noticed a little speedup
| Code: | glxgears
36447 frames in 5.0 seconds = 7289.340 FPS
29736 frames in 5.0 seconds = 5947.114 FPS
38155 frames in 5.0 seconds = 7630.990 FPS

| Nvidia doesn't use exa, so the exa option will have no impact with a nvidia card. |

It does if you're using the open source 'nv' drivers. |

Given the amount of fluctuation you really have to let it run a lot longer to make any conclusions. And remember: glxgears is a bad benchmark for anything.

Well i tried Xorg 7.3, too.
But i found out, that when i use "evdev" for the mouse, it is freezed although i re-emerged evdev.
The second issue ist, that when i switch vom German to US Layout on the Keyboard, the keys are wrong until i switch back to DE Layout.
The third thing is, that my hotkey "win+alt+-" in Openbox results in a wrong action.
So it seems, that we have to wait for newer packages of the xf86-input ebuilds.
And yes my LEDs don't work, too  |

I would love to try those out to see for myself but the problem is that those drivers dont support my hardware. I have a Geforce 4 MX4000 in this machine and I need the 96xx driver series. I know im living in the stone age with this card, but it is a work machine and thats all I can get for it.

Mine works with the --ignoreABI option for now but it is only a matter of time before not even that will work if Nvidia doesn't plan on releasing a new 96XX series driver to support Xorg 7.3. You also have to make sure that Composite is disabled too.
However some people are not able to make this work like I have.

They'll release a driver for legacy cards soon with support for xorg 7.3 and newer kernels (2.6.23). At least that's what i read from one of the nvidia developers on their forums.

I have this problem where I can't use the new Xorg as a regular user but can as root.
| Code: | AUDIT: Sat Sep 22 22:26:57 2007: 7513 X: client 2 rejected from local host (uid 1000)
Auth name: XDM-AUTHORIZATION-1 ID: -1
AUDIT: Sat Sep 22 22:26:57 2007: 7513 X: client 2 rejected from local host (uid 1000)
Auth name: XDM-AUTHORIZATION-1 ID: -1 |
That's the error the xorg log is throwing at me.

I had this problem too, but re-emerging evdev and doing dispatch-conf got it working again. However I now have the weirdest of problems. If I play any 3d game (i tested ut2004 and quake4) with the evdev driver the mouse moves extremely weird, like its in some kind of jelly! I tested with the standard mouse driver and the mouse worked ok there (except it doesn't pick up my extra mouse buttons automatically like evdev, so evdev ftw ). Can anyone else here test a game in full screen with the evdev driver and see if they have the same weird mouse movement? I say test in fullscreen because if you run the game windowed it works fine. Doubt it makes a difference but I'm using xfce anyway.

Noticed this too. Was very strange. And having to recompile the drivers a second time to get them to work was a bit silly. So much for improved hotplugging support eh.

I had a pretty troublesome update, I couldn't get it to work until I rebooted the system.
BTW xorgcfg == sweet |

I'm trying new xorg as well, except the led problem I have the problem with mouse. It's not exactly the same, but it's really wired! I didn't try evdev, but with the standard mouse driver mouse motion in Quake3.... is really strange. It looks like my mouse just doesn't react on really slow movements. If I would start moving mouse _really_ slow the pointer stays at the same position  This behavior applies only for Quake3 and in X mouse works fine, so I think it's somehow opengl related.

anyone have any ideas about this? Its not an xorg.conf problem. Its my user is being denied access to the X server. I don't know what to do about this one. Spent most of the night seeing if adding my user to different groups would work. Can anyone think of a reason why xauth would be blocking my user access to X?
EDIT:
(SOLUTION)
What you need to do if you have this error is delete .Xauthority in /home/(your user)

Alright, so what's the big thing with Xorg 7.3? I upgraded...that was a hassel. Now everything looks exactly the same, I get about the same fps in games. What can it do that the older versions can't?

I just setup 7.3 with the new Radeon drivers. xf86-video-ati-6.7.193.
Its working great so far. havnt really bothered with dri yet tho as it is a work laptop. what i do want is duel screen working properly. now it seems with 7.3 its all moved to randr and out of the driver which is good. but it seems randr has a limitation of 2560 as the max width... is there a way around this or do we just have to sit back and wait? |

ok i have seemed to sort it out. you have to set the virtual command under your display depth.  now to work on dri
a good page
http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Xorg_RandR_1.2
EDIT:
Ok DRI working now.... this has been really easy... no need for windows at work now.
when i run glxgears i do get this
libGL warning: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x63
anyone know if this is an issue? |

Thank you for the info. As I mentioned already, mouse works fine in X server, but not in opengl games. Would it be still my case?
EDIT: Why it happends only with the new xorg server, while the mouse driver is the same for both of them? |

That's a known issue with the new Xorg version. Same here. I think they did not release a fix yet...

How can I downgrade safely?
I ran into a couple of problems (terrible xv performance with mplayer, artifacts and crashes) after I upgraded to xorg-7.3 although I could get everything working (including linuxwacom).
As I really need my video performance back, I decided to downgrade but ran into problems with xf86-input-keyboard, which wouldn't compile.
Any advice?
