|    Perforrmance of Nouveau drivers under Sl    |
|    08 Feb 22 20:40:40    |
      From: 12345@whatismyemailaddress.xyz               I have an old PC with an NVidia graphics card running 14.2. I use       the NVidia proprietary drivers for this card on this PC without any       problems. However, transitioning to 15.0 and the 5.* kernels, the guys       from NVidia tell me that there are no NVidia drivers for my particular       NVidia card when such drivers are used. Which implies I'll have to use       the Nouveau driver.               Anybody have experience with this driver under Slackware? I am       thinking about 3D applications - like e.g. google-earth, or the 3D hacks       in xscreensaver. Do they run at all? If they do, do they perform       tolerably, or are they like trickle?               I might just have to bite the bullet and get a new card (or maybe       even a new PC) but I would be interested to learn about the experience of       other Slackware users in this respect.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
