riva tnt2 glxgears

[nileshbansal]

I have a riva tnt2 card with 32 MB memory. I have installed latest nvidia drivers. when i use glxgears i get FPS around 230 per sec. I think i shud get more FPS and have missed something in config as when i try to play simple games like racer or tuxkart(SUSE 8.1)it says ur card does not support 3D acceleration and if i ignore that warning i dont get smooth moton while playing.
(these results for default window size of glxgears at 1280x1024 resolution, 24 colur depth).
in fullscreen mode for glx gears i get FPS of 0.5 - 0.6

In my XF86Config i am using
Load "glx"

What does 'glxinfo' say? Can you post an /var/log/XFree86.0.log file?

[Andy Mecham]

You're using 1.0-4191. Can you try 1.0-4349?

--andy

[nileshbansal]

i am using kernel 2.4.21pre6 and i need source for custom kernel. I cannot use script run released by nvidia as i am using suse 8.1

[bwkaz]

... only if you insist on using SaX2... ;)

If you don't mind configuring X manually, you can just build it from source. At least, that's true AFAIK.

[nileshbansal]

OK i am now using 4349, but still everything is same.

[Kiamu]

Checked the XFree86 log as Andy suggested?

I had the same prob once and i simply forgot to enable the right AGP driver for my mobo (afair).

[Kiamu]

i noticed 3 things on a quick glance:

1.) (WW) System lacks support for changing MTRRs

2.) (WW) NVIDIA(0): Failed to initialize AGP

3.) and a warning about a missing APM device...

to 1: i don't know if it causes major trouble, but i would suggest you turn on the MTRR support under Prozessor type and features in the kernel. it does not hurt.

to 2: _THIS_ is your problem. try to enable the AGP settings in the "character device settings" section of the kernel and recompile.
if your using a nforce board you have to adjust the XF86config in /etc/X11 to load the native NVagp.

to 3: well. afaik you have to set up a device. i do not know what is affected by this, because i rarely use apm features. (just console blanking on my old machines) A link to /dev/misc/apm_bios should do.

[nileshbansal]

a few days back i compiled 2.4.21pre6 and while compiling /dev/agpgart(AGP support) was turned on. I am unable to find anything else in section Character Devices related to AGP. Am i missing anything ?? Do i need to do something else . plz tell in detail what exactly i need to do.
thank you for your guidence

[bwkaz]

Setting agpgart to yes should have enabled it, yes. What does /proc/driver/nvidia/agp/host-bridge say? What about the card file in the same directory? (though I don't think that one matters as much)

Is there anything AGP-related in dmesg's output?

What chipset is your motherboard?

[nileshbansal]

I have intel 850MV2

dmesg says

[bwkaz]

How many video cards do you have? It looks like it's initializing 3 of them, plus the nVidia one!

Try removing the "tdfx", "radeon", and "i810" kernel modules, at least. It could be that one of them, or DRM itself, is interfering. But to get rid of DRM will require a kernel recompile...

[nileshbansal]

I have only one nvidia card and support for radeon and i810 is built in kernel and its not by loading some module

[nileshbansal]

I dont know how but AGP is noe initialized . I am attaching XFree86.log.0 . But still when i start games like racer or tuxkart it warns me ur card does not have 3d support .Output of glxgears for default window size is unchnanged but for full screen has improved to 15 FPS, but this is very less for playing games and for racer i am hardly able to make sense what is going on.
XFree86log says of Using the NVIDIA 2D acceleration architecture does that mean i need to load some other modulw also.
I dont know what exactly this means but wanted to tell that while using glxgears CPU usages reaches 100%, does that mean its all software zoom and no hardware zoom.

[nileshbansal]

log file is here

[bwkaz]

Hmmm... what happens when you ldd $(which glxgears)? And then ls -l any libGL.so or libGLcore.so files that come back from that?

Your X log seems to be fine, but if your programs are linking against the wrong OpenGL library, that could cause a problem like that.

[nileshbansal]

ldd $(which glxgears) shows libGL.so.1 and liGLcore.so.1 whci are actullay links to libGl.so.1.4349 and liGLcore.so.1.4349
has this anything to do with "Using the NVIDIA 2D acceleration architecture" as in XFreelog??

[Kiamu]

hmm,

do you have any DRI things enabled in the kernel? and do you load the module in XF86Config?

if yes: disable all that...

[nileshbansal]

I have DRI support built in kernel and to remove that i will have to recompile my kernel..right or is their anyother way??
I am not loading DRI in XF86Config

[Kiamu]

yes, you would have to recompile the kernel to remove it. though i am not sure it is the reason for your trouble... at least it could be.
btw while you are at it. have a look at the help file for MTRR and compile it in. it should improve your performance in X a bit ;)

[bwkaz]

Regarding your other question, yes, the only way to get rid of DRM support if it's compiled into your kernel is to recompile the kernel. This is why I personally like modules. ;)

[nileshbansal]

OK i have recompiled my kernel but that doesn't seem to help.
