Guest JaseP Posted August 11, 2003 Report Share Posted August 11, 2003 I have just switched to SuSE 8.2 from my beloved Mandrake 8.2. I did so because I coulnd't reliably get a retail copy of Mandrake at a local store... which I can for SuSE. At any rate, my framerates are somewhat troubling in SuSE. I get something like 700-900 FPS in glxgears with my nVidia GeForce4 MX440 with my P4 2.4 GHz system... Sometimes higher. I think something is interfering with my framerates. Sometimes my framerates are high, other times, they crawl. Does anyone have any idea what it may be? I also have no graphical windows in WineX or the Loki installers (text only). I thought I read somewhere that SuSE has a thing, some library or app, loaded by default that interferes with Wine and WineX. Has anyone heard of this???

jlc Posted August 11, 2003 Report Share Posted August 11, 2003 As far as wine/X don't know, SuSE & FPS were alway's slow no matter what I did, so if you ever find out why, let me know. Out of all the distros I used, I ran SuSE the most through the years and FPS were alway's slow, don't know why. :lol: Some say that FPS don't matter, I don't know. :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JaseP Posted August 11, 2003 Report Share Posted August 11, 2003 I just spied an article that describes SuSE's lack of nVidia support. It seems that you need to manually re-edit the XF86Config-4 file to include AGP support, since it is not supported out of box by SuSE. Maybe that will help. I also recall seeing a review of RedHat 9 that indicated that a certain library or file needed to be deactivated in order to speed up graphics and Wine/WineX support. I think it was the recent review in Linux Journal. I will try to pick up a copy to see if this same problem doesn't exist in SuSE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlc Posted August 11, 2003 Report Share Posted August 11, 2003 I think the wine/X speed up your referning to in LJ is talking about the use of NTPL in RH9, which wont effect SuSE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JaseP Posted August 11, 2003 Report Share Posted August 11, 2003 Thanks,... so I have to look for a cause elsewhere. I really hope it's as simple as adding AGP support to the XF86Config-4 . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
