I have an AthlonXP 1600+ with an ASUS A7A266, 768mb RAM, and a Geforce4MX440 64MB Ram. Gentoo linux with xfree 4.3 (also happened with xfree 4.2)
glxgears gives 1800fps with 1.0.3123-r2 driver
and with 1.0.4349-r1 I get less that 1300fps

I dont even know if 1800fps is ok for my setup, can anyone confirm this?
Also if I change between nvidia Opengl and xfree opengl performance is exactly the same, shouldnt be better with nvidia glx?

Any ideas?, need more info?

Here it goes my XF86Config-4:

performance problem with the drivers.
GF4 MX should be around about glxgears 2000fps and above. My GF2 MX is only 350fps. games are not even playable.

others have the same problem.
I think it is todo with Athlonxp and the drivers.
more AMD bug?
I am sure no problem with P4.
Wait for Nvidia to do something.
