Re: doom3 slowness
I'm dual booting my system (A64 3000+, nVidia FX5900XT 128MB, 1G DDR) with XP and Debian-AMD64 currently. I got Doom3 to run, but you're right; it runs quite slowly compared to Windows (about 1/3 the frame rate at the same settings). I notice UT2004 runs slightly slower, too. I'm used to games running faster in Linux, dammit :-( timedemo demo1 in the console, with Medium setting graphics, shadows off, 1024x768 gets me around 25FPS. Under XP, i'm getting 75 or so. What do you get in glxgears? I get around 8500 or so, thought I would have gotten more on this system (my old Athlon 1.4 with Geforce 2 used to get about 5000).

Huh, didn't know it was available for Linux. Makes me actually to want to buy the game :) A quick web search turns up: http://zerowing.idsoftware.com/linux/doom/ Which has the disappointing news: There are no amd64 builds planned at this time. -- Raul -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Is fx5200 that much worse than fx5600? In short, yes. See http://graphics.tomshardware.com/graphic/20040809/doom3-06.html for a The FX5200's are pretty poor cards, but he's still seeing an unusually low framerate. Immediately before I had my Athlon64 w/FX5900XT, I had a AthlonXP 3200+ with one of these cards. Doom3 wasn't out for Linux then, so I ran it under XP. At 800x600, medium graphics, shadows turned off, I was getting around the 25-30 fps mark in 'timedemo doom1'. I usually don't overclock things, but you can get the cards new for around AU$85 these days anyway, so I pulled a fan off an old Pentium I CPU and screwed it into the heatsink on mine, and managed to overclock the core/memory about 60% higher than stock. Got it up to around 45 fps, and the system seemed stable (played about half of Doom III on it), surprisingly, so points go towards overclockability for the cards. If you want a new card, but haven't got a huge budget, get a FX5900XT - great performance for the money, spent about a week researching (I would have gotten the ATI Radeon 9800 Pro if the Linux drivers didn't suck so badly). Mine cost me around AU$300. The difference between the cards is huge. R

When I write in search engines like google, altavista or alltheweb the mozilla crash. Is the package of firefox wrong? Is it a problem of my computer?
