I recommend recompiling your kernel. For me (I have a P4 1.3 GHz with 384MB RDRAM using Geforce4 Ti 4200 128MB DDR RAM) I noticed a considerable change in performance when I recompiled my kernel. I selected only nvidia drivers for the video, creative drivers only for my sb audigy sound card, and realtek 8139 drivers for my NIC card. This produced gaming on a level that has me almost wearing Depends! I wil post my XFree86-4 config file if that might help any: Section "Module" # This loads the DBE extension module. Load "dbe" # This loads the Video for Linux module. Load "v4l" # This loads the NV for OpenGL Linux module. Load "glx" # This loads the Type1 and FreeType font modules Load "type1" Load "freetype" # This loads the miscellaneous extensions module, and disables # initialisation of the XFree86-DGA extension within that module. Subsection "extmod" #Option "omit xfree86-dga" EndSubsection EndSection - -- - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Altoine B Maximum Time Unlimited Chicago Based and Operated http://pgp.mit.edu - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Getting into trouble is easy. -- D.
