Slow nVidia 5200. 10 fps with glxgears!

What's the output from running "ls -l /usr/lib/libGL.so* " ?

[daminator]

I'm in London for a couple of days now. I'll run that command when I get back.

Thanks for looking into this netllama! I'll be back to it as soon as I get home.

In the ldd of glxinfo you have these 2 entries which I don't have in mine :
libGLU.so.1 => /usr/lib/libGLU.so.1 (0xb7ebb000)
libglut.so.3 => /usr/lib/libglut.so.3 (0xb7e89000)

Are you using some kinds of LD_PRELOAD?

What's the output of export?

[netllama]

Those entries should be harmless, as they appear because GLU and glut are installed.

I also have them installed, yet they don't show up the in the ldd.

Edit:
Nevermind, just thought it was a little strange.

not sure if that looks right?

[netllama]

You shouldn't have /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.0.9746 on your system if you're using 1.0-9755.

[daminator]

So is that's what's causing the problem?

I had the same problem when I was using 9746. Maybe I should try to remove all drivers and start again.

Damian

[netllama]

Installing the driver from a 3rd party package could cause this.

[daminator]

Right,

I tried to install manually first. Had problems, so used 'Envy' for Ubuntu. Then used Envy again to install the newer driver (although I was fairly sure that I told Envy to unistall the old driver first .. guess it just didn't work).

I'll see if I can work out how to uninstall all the drivers then start again.
