[SLE] Slow 3D with NVidia.

SuSE 10.1, stock plus YOU updates
Pentium 4, 1800 Mhz, 1GiB ram
GeForce2 MX/MX 400 (supported according to
http://www.nvidia.com/object/IO_18897.html)

I wanted to check FlightGear, therefore I had to activate 3D and accel. I
downloaded the newest nvidia driver, NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-8776-pkg1.run. I
modified /etc/X11/xorg.conf in the same way I had done previously in 9.3
where it worked, and rebooted.

I try "glxgears", small window:

cer@nimrodel:~> glxgears
3596 frames in 5.0 seconds = 719.072 FPS
4023 frames in 5.0 seconds = 804.191 FPS
4011 frames in 5.0 seconds = 802.194 FPS

full screen

697 frames in 5.0 seconds = 139.220 FPS
652 frames in 5.0 seconds = 130.221 FPS

The gears turn slowly, and the main cpu soars to 100%. This is not normal.

3D games like ppracer (Planet Penguin racer) And Flight Gear (Flight
simulator) do work, but slowly, play may stop and jerk for a second now
and then. At least ppracer worked fine a year ago with SuSE 9.3. But the
fact that they work prove there is 3D, otherwise they would refuse to
work.


I have switched from a depth of 24 bits to 16, but I don't see much
difference:

7878 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1575.520 FPS <-- small window
7657 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1531.376 FPS
6948 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1389.504 FPS
7800 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1559.852 FPS
2162 frames in 5.0 seconds = 432.110 FPS <--- Full window
1394 frames in 5.0 seconds = 278.762 FPS
5008 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1001.516 FPS

cpu at 100% (90% for process glxgears).


Ideas?
