Nvidia's own gives me twice the frame rate of Debian's nvidia-glx (Sid). Nvidia is looking for some Xorg SDK to tell it where to place its module. Not finding that, it uses the default /usr/lib which means interference with/by xorg glx packages. Each time you put in new Xorg stuff, simply rerun their installer. A bit of a bother but as you said, a few minutes. Examin their "advanced" options. There may be a way to tell it where to install the glx stuff. Then simply have xorg.conf check modules there first :-) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
