Re: [XFree86] Geforce 3 and glitches with "nv" drivers
Mark Vojkovich wrote: OK, I've been able to reproduce this on this specific card. It's not a SW/HW synchronization issue. It's just that this card POSTs with clocks too low to support some acceleration without corruption. I've worked around this in CVS. This problem was likely limited to some GeForce3 and GeForce4 Ti cards. Mark.

If that solves the problem then this is fixed in the 4.3 pre-releases. If not then I don't know what the problem is. I saw one other report of something that sounded similar, but from the screen shots I saw of that, it didn't look like a driver issue, but rather, it looked like the Render extension got new functionality but the corresponding wrappers weren't added to XAA.

I have two others PC , 1 PIII 600 and 1 PIII 1000 .the PIII 600 is on an old Slot 1 SOYO MoBo ,the PIII 1000 on an ASUS CUV4x-EA , I've noticed that the problem is present on the ASUS , but not on the Soyo motherboard. So this isn't only a video card issue. Do you know if there is or will be a solution to this?

It doesn't have as many feature as the binary drivers and it doesn't have the performance, but it has some benefits. Namely, that it works on many OSes and architectures and more people can support it. I don't think there are any quality problems with it. Actually, if you don't need the features of the binary drivers, I would recommend that you use the "nv" driver instead. Mark. You may want to upgrade to the new 'nvidia' driver provided by Nvidia themselves. Check it out at the nvida website: www.nvidia.com I've upgraded to the new driver using an old TNT card is the machine is like new.
