I recommend recompiling your kernel. For me (I have a P4 1.3 GHz with 384MB
RDRAM using Geforce4 Ti 4200 128MB DDR RAM) I noticed a considerable change
in performance when I recompiled my kernel. I selected only nvidia drivers
for the video, creative drivers only for my sb audigy sound card, and realtek
8139 drivers for my NIC card. This produced gaming on a level that has me
almost wearing Depends! I wil post my XFree86-4 config file if that might
help any:
Section "Module"
# This loads the DBE extension module.
Load "dbe"
# This loads the Video for Linux module.
Load "v4l"
# This loads the NV for OpenGL Linux module.
Load "glx"
# This loads the Type1 and FreeType font modules
Load "type1"
Load "freetype"
# This loads the miscellaneous extensions module, and disables
# initialisation of the XFree86-DGA extension within that module.
Subsection "extmod"
#Option "omit xfree86-dga"
EndSubsection
