I am using gentoo-sources-2.4.20-r7 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ian $ glxgears 3856 frames in 5.0 seconds = 771.200 FPS 4194 frames in 5.0 seconds = 838.800 FPS 4094 frames in 5.0 seconds = 818.800 FPS 4107 frames in 5.0 seconds = 821.400 FPS 4153 frames in 5.0 seconds = 830.600 FPS I don't know how those match up to others, but it certainly is faster than my old Voodoo. One thing though: I think that I used to have AA fonts in X, or at least they weren't this jagged before. Does the nvidia driver deal with fonts differently? Thanks to all.
