Just an update on my experiences with the new nVidia drivers (and install routine) under Mandrake 9.1.
1: Faster 3D frame rates, estimate around 25% based on glxgears 2: Others claim better 2d performance also, I have not seen this, or am I sure as to how to check. 3: Running xawtv steadily in a small window, I used to get lots of screen refresh's, depending on where the cursor moved. Mostly anoying but noticed they would go away if I closed down xawtv. All is stable now but I am not sure if this is a result of the new XFree86, Mandrake or the nVidia drivers. 4: Still no dual x-sessions on dual monitor setup 5: Random reboots of system. Yeah the bad news, at least for me and my setup. Since my default OS on boot is Redhat, if I leave MDK on and wake up to the Redhat login, pretty clear what happened. It has also happend once while working, just out of the blue system rebooted. I did not notice this at all with the Mandrake provided "nv" drivers so likely related to the new drivers from nVidia, at least with my system. Might try changin or disabling screen saver but since I have seen this behavior without the screen saver on, might not help. <hr> <b><font color=blue size=4>Open Enterprise Solutions</font></b> <b><font color=red>Linux & Open Source Solutions for Business</font></b> Johnny Stork, BA Calgary, AB Canada <a href="http://www.openenterprise.ca";> www.openenterprise.ca</a> --------------------------------------------------- The Webtop Personal Web-based Email System http://www.yourwebtop.com
