[arch] Low performance in Cedega and World of Warcraft

[Jerry Dueitt]

Hey, I was wondering if anybody had experienced a drastic degradation of performance using Cedega to play World of Warcraft? Before the 10th of March I was able to run WoW at accpetable frame rates in Cedega using the DirectX mode. I disappeared to europe on holiday for a week and came back to a much different story. I ran some upgrades just before I left and just after I got back, and I don't recall what got upgraded. Now, I can't get WoW+Cedega to run in DirectX mode. If I modify Config.WTF I can get OpenGL rendering working. However, I get a paltry 5 frames per second on a good day. When I attempt to run WoW in DirectX mode I get the following error:

X Error of failed request:  GLXBadLargeRequest
  Major opcode of failed request:  128 (GLX)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  2 (X_GLXRenderLarge)
  Serial number of failed request:  565542
  Current serial number in output stream:  565543

The queer part is that I don't get this error until after I try entering the game. The initial UI will load just fine and when the world is supposed to start appearing I get this error instead. I've tried reinstalling the NVidia drivers and that didn't help me much. My system is configured as such:
AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2500+
1GB of RAM
GeForce FX 5900XT with 128MB of memory
Nvidia 8178 driver
Soundblast Live 5.1 sound card
Running 2.6.15-archck
Xorg Version 7.0.0

Any thoughts or ideas would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.
-Jerry.
