So, I finally got around to trying this. I'm using kernel 2.6.10 which is tricky to get going with the NVidia drivers. I managed to get nVidia driver version 6629 installed with some minor patches. When I start it up I get this:
> 2005-01-16 17:17:10 OpenGLVideoSync: GLX Video Sync extension not present.
despite `glxinfo` returning:
server glx extensions:
GLX_EXT_visual_info, GLX_EXT_visual_rating, GLX_SGIX_fbconfig,
GLX_SGIX_pbuffer, GLX_SGI_video_sync, GLX_SGI_swap_control
client glx vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation
client glx version string: 1.3
client glx extensions:
GLX_ARB_get_proc_address, GLX_ARB_multisample, GLX_EXT_visual_info,
GLX_EXT_visual_rating, GLX_EXT_import_context, GLX_SGI_video_sync,
GLX_NV_swap_group, GLX_NV_video_out, GLX_SGIX_fbconfig, GLX_SGIX_pbuffer,
GLX_SGI_swap_control, GLX_NV_float_buffer
GLX extensions:
GLX_EXT_visual_info, GLX_EXT_visual_rating, GLX_SGIX_fbconfig,
GLX_SGIX_pbuffer, GLX_SGI_video_sync, GLX_SGI_swap_control,
GLX_ARB_get_proc_address
This is not normal. If I could run 6629 and/or 2.6.10, I'd debug it.
Which appears to include GLX_SGI_video_sync. I assume this is what you were talking about when you mentioned you "had trouble" with the latest driver?
No, the trouble some are seeing is severe display corruption, which starts off with a seemingly-frozen nVidia logo (or black screen if you have that option turned off).
