My gpu is an nvidia geforce 5200, my machine is Athlon XP2800+ with 1GB PC3200 RAM on an Asus Board - short: my machine is very fast. I haven't installed any proprietary drivers from nvidia yet, since the kernel still refuses to load non-gpl modules and because nvidia's installer doesn't work properly with FC5.



I have a geforce 6800, and am running the nv driver. I cannot confirm
you experience. I notice that the nv is slightly slower that the NVIDIA one (for example tvtime takes a little more CPU time).

Maybe there is something wrong with your xorg.conf. Can you show
use the relevant parts?

I presume you have upgraded from FC4 to FC5. Did you use livna's
NVIDIA installer. If you, you should!


I am going to install FC5 on over 50 machines with different cpus and gpus. Unfortunately it's not worth trying to activate any bleeding edge hardware accelaration only to be able to browse the web... but I'll give the nvidia installer a try. Thanks for the hint.

here's my xorg.conf as it was created by anaconda during the installtion:
