I seem to be having much better performance with the native "nv"
driver than the "nvidia" driver.
On my machine, I've found both the "nv" and "nvidia" driver perform
equally well for most 2D apps (atleast I could not differentiate their
performance/stability). However, "nvidia" driver performs best
for 3D apps (high-end games and other OpenGL applications). Infact,
UT2004 runs stable and fast on Linux when compared to Windows
2000 (with nvidia detonator drivers installed on my machine earlier).
Also, has anyone managed to get the nvidia drivers running with 2.6.10
? The driver install fails with "Cannot determine the kernel version"
I've got it working on Slackware (2.6.10-cko patched kernel) with
1.0-6629 version of nvidia driver.
