Ditto to that - |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
Running ~amd64 with xorg 7.1 |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
then - |
| 14 |
# emerge --nodeps nvidia-kernel nvidia-glx |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
Initially had the font problem, so I set : |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
Option "RenderAccel" "false" in /etc/X11/xorg.conf |
| 19 |
and also - |
| 20 |
cp /usr/lib/libXfont.so.1.4.1 /usr/lib/libXfont.so.1.5 |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
I dont fully grok what the issue is here with fonts and Xfontlib, but |
| 23 |
the above hacks combine to fix all my font problems, so I am happy for |
| 24 |
now. |

Works real well in 2D mode - will do some testing with 3D stuff when |
| 28 |
time permits. glxinfo shows Nvidia binaries in use, and glxgears hitting |
| 29 |
1900 fps .. which is superficially fine from my point of view. |

Note on Compositing effects : |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
tried this: |
| 37 |
Option "RenderAccel" "true" in /etc/X11/xorg.conf |
| 38 |
xcompmgr -c -l -5 -t -5 -o 0.5 & |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
- Drop shadows / compositing work well in accellerated mode, but font |
| 41 |
problem remains. |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
Option "RenderAccel" "false" in /etc/X11/xorg.conf |
| 44 |
xcompmgr -c -l -5 -t -5 -o 0.5 & |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
- Drop shadows / compositing still work, but crawls like a snail. Fonts |
| 47 |
look fine. Takes seconds to refresh a text window whilst scrolling ... |
| 48 |
eww. |

So for now, Ill stick with nvidia binaries, 8762, with xorg-7.1, and |
| 55 |
renderAccell OFF. Extremely snappy 2D workstation. Going from GDM |
| 56 |
login to gnome desktop is lightning fast. |
