pmpatrick Posted December 22, 2003 Report Share Posted December 22, 2003 (edited) Just saw this on the net this morning. The new nvidia driver is out numbered 5328. Anyone tried it yet? I'm downloading it now and will give it a test run after I back up. Here's the link to the download page: http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display...y_ia32_1.0-5328 Edited December 22, 2003 by pmpatrick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Scrimpshire Posted December 23, 2003 Report Share Posted December 23, 2003 I tried it but can't get it to work. I run the installer and get no errors. As a matter of fact, it doesn't give me the usual "No kernel module was found that matches the running kernel, would you like to attempt to download one?" After which it can't find one and has to compile one. Normally, that is what happens, but it doesn't do that. It says it completed successfully, but trying to start X give me a black screen and Ctrl-Alt-Bksp doesn't kill X and going to Ctrl-Alt-F1 shows that X has died, but I cannot rmmod nvidia, because it tells me it is busy. I finally had to downgrade back to the 4496 or whatever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james Posted December 23, 2003 Report Share Posted December 23, 2003 Worked with MDK 9.1, GeForce 3 ti-200. installed using depmod -ae. Slow compared with beta 4620 drivers. :( Rolled back to beta 4620 drivers ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pmpatrick Posted December 23, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2003 I just tested it out on 9.2 with an FX 5200. Works fine but no change in fps in glxgears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VeeDubb Posted December 24, 2003 Report Share Posted December 24, 2003 I just installed this one and I'm very dissapointed to say that while it installs fine, it only puts up a whopping 5fps from glxgears. totaly owrthless. I get more frames than that with the nv driver. I guess it's rollback time. Boo-hoo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glitz Posted December 24, 2003 Report Share Posted December 24, 2003 Installed it on LM9.2 (Geforce 3 and dual Celeron 433MHz) and it sapped another 400fps from glxgears in its default window size (2400fps). I get 2800fps on LM8.1 on the same system with the previous drivers. On the other hand the 2D performance has increased slightly (tested using xmame fullscreen under X11). Glitz.
