(suggestions are welcomed) Several suggestions, please use the vanilla 5336 drivr from nvidia.com, not a patched release. The 5336 driver support 2.6 out of the box so no patching is necessary. Just try this, please disable ACPI. When ACPI is enabled I have a astonishing frame drop of 10% or greater, so please edit your lilo.conf and pass the acpi=off option to the kernel. I have the identical setup as you, and I am having no problems at all. My setup is 1. Vanilla kernel 2.6.2 compiled with athlon optimisations, preemption enabled, acpi turned off at boot. I am using NVIDIA's agp driver. cat /proc/driver/nvidia/agp/status Status: Enabled Driver: NVIDIA AGP Rate: 8x Fast Writes: Enabled SBA: Enabled > As I don't have the 2.6.1 kernel doing everything I want, I would > like to be able to boot back into 2.4.20, but can't unless I > downgrade the nvidia drivers. Is there a way around this? Hmm.the NVIDIAxxxx.5336.run package from nvidia.com supports 2.4 series without any problem. ALso I have noted that surprisingly the 2.4 series kernels give better frame rates for Neverwinter nights and other 3d games. However you can try disabling acpi, thats the cause of most problems in the nforce2 motherboards.
