It should show (among a lot of other stuff): direct rendering: Yes. To see the performance, try 'glxgears'. My machine is doing ~3900 FPS on -stable (using nvidia agp), ~2800 FPS on -current (using FreeBSD agp, nvidia agp does not work on this machine under -current). I guess the debugging stuff in -current might cause some slowdown.

I didn't try them all in -current, but I succeeded running Quake3 and UT2003, although UT2003 feels considerably slower than in -stable. I plan to do the same test on -current with all my games installed but don't know when :-/.

Soldier of Fortune, Myth II: Soulblighter and Descent 3 all require 3d accel... Reason I included sound info is that for a long time there were these sound lags which I worked around by purchasing OSS. However, OSS does not work for mmap'ed sound (Quake3 and all derivatives such as ET) so I ended up switching between the two. Currently, only two of the games (Rune and SoF) require OSS, so I'm mostly running pcm again. For the records, mmap'ed sound was also broken in FreeBSD for quite a while, around 4.2 IIRC. Generally, I'm happy with gaming performance in FreeBSD but I'm more of an occasional gamer than hardcore, and consider it a nice challenge to run them on FreeBSD ;-). It *does* add quite some instability, unfortunately, due to the beta-nature of the nvidia-drivers, but my experience is that once a game is started up it rarely crashes. I haven't checked out DRI for a long time (since replacing my Matrox G400 by Geforce4 about one year ago). Don't forget to check out the nvidia-driver FAQ: http://www.soulwax.net/nvidia/faq.shtml Hm, Can't find info about __GL_SINGLE_THREADED=1 there (maybe overlooking), but anyway you need to set it for most (if not all) Linux games to run succesfully.

If it helps any, I have a 'GeForce4 MX 440 with AGP8X'. Sorry, I don't know why it is not loading :-(. If you have the line 'Load dri' in your XF86Config, comment it out. It is not needed and might cause trouble. I suppose you have the kernel module nvidia.ko loaded? Yes to both. You can test direct rendering by typing 'glxinfo'. It should show (among a lot of other stuff): direct rendering: Yes. Nope, so naturally glxgears ran poorly. Have a look at http://www.icculus.org . It's the most extensive list of Linux games I know off, including useful links. cool. Don't forget to check out the nvidia-driver FAQ: http://www.soulwax.net/nvidia/faq.shtml I checked there again...and didn't directly help. So then I tried running tuxracer, which really wants DRI, but can run anyway. No DRI (as we know), but why? The nvidia stuff is installed, ...isn't it? Or maybe it was only partially installed (and some of the opengl libs weren't). That doesn't make sense... So I reinstalled the nvidia-driver from ports, and tried running tuxracer again. Doh! Crashed X. Of course, GLX isn't loaded, so it gets confused, so I'll just have to restart Xand I get this message: (II) [GLX]: Initializing GLX extension Well, that looks promising.

Maybe you did a portupgrade or reinstall of XFree86-Server? This will overwrite some files installed by the nvidia driver. I'm always reinstalling nvidia-driver after upgrading XFree86-Server/libraries just to be sure. It's also necessary to reinstall the nvidia driver after upgrading FreeBSD. I prefer to reboot the machine after any nvidia-driver reinstall to be entirely sure that I have the newest kernel module loaded. Yes, that's ugly, but I got a bit reluctant on kldunload/kldload'ing this sort of critical things. My home desktop doesn't have a large uptime anyway as I'm turning it off if I don't need it.

I installed linux_mesa and that problem went away, but game does not start anyway, since it's having some problems with glide (I don't have the message at hand right now).

Re: Enemy Territory
I installed linux_dri and that did the trick. The game runs badly, I get horrible lag, but I think it my be the network. My X server also has problems at resolution at 1024x768, it tends to freze up the whole system, well at least the terminals. And when using dri, the X server can only be started once, if I close it and restart it agian it doesn't work correctly. Rebooting it fixes it. I will try a local game with a friend later.
