FX5600 - no 3D acceleration

SnorG · 09-11-03, 04:05 PM

Hi,

i get no 3D support for my GeForce4 FX 5600. I'm running Debian unstable (Sid) with XFree 4.2.1.1, Kernel 2.4.22 and 2.4.23-pre2 and the latest NVidia driver NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-4496-pkg2.run.

Glxgears only gives 700-800 FPS.

Hardware:
VGA: Albatron FX5600
(%:~)- cat /proc/driver/nvidia/cards/0
Model: GeForce FX 5600
IRQ: 16
Video BIOS: 04.31.20.52.00
Card Type: AGP

Mainboard: MSI KT4V-L (VIA KT400)
CPU: AMD Athlon 3000+

This is what i see in /var/log/messages:

Has anyone found a solution to this? I am having the exact same problem except I'm running RedHat 9 with 2.4.20-20.9 kernel

im using a 5600 with xfree86 4.3.0 and it works fine for me on my nforce 2 board. it seems as if your problem is with your agp gart module. try getting 2.4.23 final or if you wanna take a chance 2.6.0-test11 and see how they work. make sure you compile in support for your motherboards agp gart.
