I would expect vesa to be quite slow. I don't know about nvidia-xconf and |
| 23 |
where it comes from, probably because I do not have a nvidia card any |
| 24 |
more. Does it really place "vesa" into the config? |
| 25 |
What happens when you replace the "vesa" driver with "nvidia"? emerge |
| 26 |
nvidia-drivers if not already done. If this fails, try "nv" instead, this |
| 27 |
is the slower open source driver, which should be okay for 2D acceleration |
| 28 |
at least. |

I read something here about dri and dri2 some days ago, but don't |
| 36 |
remember. I think they are not needed with nvidia-drivers or something |
| 37 |
like that. |

There is also X -configure which creates a new xorg.conf, but that |
| 40 |
segfaults for some years on my machine. |
| 41 |
And you could try with hal and no xorg.conf. |
