Thats to those that helped, much appreciated.. I just downloaded the src rpm from NVIDIA and rebuilt it, and loaded it and the GLX rpm on, and low and behold, my FPS went through the roof... now that I got it, I feel obliged to load on QuakeIII for Lin... :-) -----Original Message----- From: s [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Sunday, 11 February 2001 3:52 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [newbie] Really bad 3d performance.. Well, you didn't mention the nvidia drivers, so I'm assuming you didn't install them yet. You will need them if you don't have them already.
