Hi, I'm wondering if anyone successfully runs Red Hat 8.0 (psyche) with the NVIDIA Quadro4 700 XGL graphics card ?? I recently installed RedHat 8.0 (kernel release "2.4.18-24.8.0smp", version "#1 SMP Fri Jan 31 06:03:47 EST 2003") on an i686 Dell PC containing this card, and the NVIDIA XGL and kernel drivers were compiled and installed as well (by a sysadmin). But, I'm experiencing severe problems with anything X-related (i.e. all the graphics). For example,
(1) the GNOME and KDE desktops are very slow to open/render...about 5-10x slower than before [same machine, running RH 7.2 (Enigma)]. (2) simple tasks, such as opening an X windows terminal or application (such as Mozilla), are very slow, and occasionally crash the system (3) some openGL-based applications don't work properly (e.g., missing certain windows, etc.). (4) simple diagnostic test: dragging an X-window terminal around the desktop (which is very slow) causes the user "root" and command "X" (in "top") to use over 70% of the processor...which is clearly wrong. By way of troubleshooting, I looked at the following 3 system files: /var/log/XFree86.0.log /proc/driver/nvidia/agp/status /etc/X11/XF86Config Only thing I found out was that the driver AGPGAR was "(inactive)", and there was a corresponding error in the XFree86.0.log file. Adding the line Option "NvAgp" "3" to the XF86Config file helped solve this problem (after a couple reboots), well -- at least the AGP status and XFree86.0.log files no longer reported an "inactive" AGP driver connection. However, all X windows related graphics are still not properly responding. Please let me know if you've experienced any similar difficulties and solved them. Thanks!
