That sounds like OpenGL in S/W performance to me. Can you look through /var/log/Xorg.log and see if you see any error messages? I don't see your problem. : alpha[1]#; /usr/X11/demo/glxgears -display :0 27273 frames in 5.0 seconds = 5454.424 FPS 27269 frames in 5.0 seconds = 5453.799 FPS 27263 frames in 5.0 seconds = 5452.488 FPS 27290 frames in 5.0 seconds = 5457.977 FPS ^C : alpha[1]#; uname -a SunOS alpha 5.11 snv_85 i86pc i386 i86xpv : alpha[1]#; > Okay, I "upgraded" the nvidia driver (same version > on b85 dvd and on nvidia's site, but who knows...), > then my machine began to behave exactly as described above. > Then I upgraded the nvidia driver to the current beta, same issues. They are not the same driver :-) The driver on the nVidia site needs to work on s10, and all versions of Nevada. The driver included with OpenSolaris is modified to know about Xen and will not work on older versions of Solaris. You should not see the same performance running on metal vs running on Xen (running on Xen should be slower). There will always be performance lost going through the hypervisor and we don't use the PAT in the i86xpv kernel (on top of Xen) today. > Then I reverted back to the opensolaris-dvd nvidia drivers, > and now it works, but under xVM the same poor performance. > I forgot to add, that without xVM I get about 3350-3400 FPS > with glxgears. > So based on the above findings, I think that there might > be something with X, or the nvidia drivers, but I'll give > a go to the kmdb-option, and post it here, just to give > more feedback. > My config is based on: C2D E6600, 4*512 DDR, Geforce > 7600 GS, Asrock i865-based motherboard. > Interesting is though that I have an other pc, an Asus > barebone with an i965-based motherboard, Asus 7600GS vga, > 4*1GB RAM, and a C2Q 6600 cpcu, and no issues there. > Albeit the configs are somewhat similar... > I have a GIGABYTE GA-G33M-DS2R, with a Core 2 Duo E6400 (Conroe), 4G of memory, and an EVGA 256-P2-N549-TR GeForce 7600GS.
