Acceleration

[Spooky]

Hi,
I've got a GeForce 4 Ti4200 and I just installed Fedora Core 1, upgraded to kernel 2.4.22-1.2140.nptl.
I've installed the last nvidia driver using nvidia-installer, and everything works fine, no warning or error messages in XFree86 log.

My problem is I can't get the acceleration running :

glxgears => 26 frames in 5.0 seconds = 5.200 FPS
31 frames in 5.0 seconds = 6.200 FPS
32 frames in 5.0 seconds = 6.400 FPS
31 frames in 5.0 seconds = 6.200 FPS
Here's my glxinfo output :

Seems to use nvidia drivers :-/ . I've tried tuxracer & Wolfenstein ET too, same prob. Could somebody help ?

Thanks a lot.

OK over here with the stock kernel, hvn't upgraded yet...

You have installed a custom driver, have you?

Not exactly.
I used nvidia-installer and it did the job. For the XFree86-Mesa-GL prob, I was already aware of it so I erased that packages files without removing the package to avoid dependencies problems with apt/yum.

Anyway, the glxinfo seems to show that the GL libraries used are real nvidia's.
glxinfo | grep -i nvidia =>

server glx vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation
client glx vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation
OpenGL vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation
OpenGL version string: 1.4.1 NVIDIA 53.28

what's more, glxgears seems to be linked with the correct files :
ldd /usr/X11R6/bin/glxgears =>
libGL.so.1 => /usr/lib/tls/libGL.so.1 (0x0073c000)
libXext.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so.6 (0x00c50000)

libpthread.so.0 => /lib/tls/libpthread.so.0 (0x00c96000)
libm.so.6 => /lib/tls/libm.so.6 (0x00b47000)

libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x00b6b000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x009f4000)

ls -l /usr/lib/tls/libGL.* =>
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 636 Jan 8 18:55 /usr/lib/tls/libGL.la
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Jan 8 18:55 /usr/lib/tls/libGL.so -> libGL.so.1

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 393468 Jan 8 18:55 /usr/lib/tls/libGL.so.1.0.5328

Any idea ?

My card does the same thing with the same fps

Hi guys

Refer to my post here. I had the same acceleration problems. It turned out to be a buggy 5328 installer from the official nividia site. The link to a fixed installer is posted in that thread.
