glXAllocateMemoryNV succeed !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jide]

hello all of you !

i have succeed !!!
so i want to appologies for my bad behavior here: sorry to all i have made sadness !
specially to -Lev who is a helpful man ! thanx to you.

if fact, my kernel didn't supported the AGP. so, i've rebuild a new kernel 2.5.1 and now all is OK !
speed increase between twice or 3, and i don't optimize a lot !
(no nvidia alloc and extension drawing).

before when doing cat /proc/nv/card0 it found a geforce2 mx PCI and now it's a geforce 2 mx AGP.

AGP is 4x, but SBA is disable: how to enable it ?
and FW is disabled and not supported. how to do it ?

thanx a lot.

i'll give soon all the sources for such a doing !!

thousand thanx

You have to install the src rpm, edit the os-registry.c file (desc below), and install your modified NVIDIA kernel module.

When you edit os-registry.c, you have to change the values of NVreg_EnableAGPSBA and NVreg_EnableAGPFW. I have not been able to get a stable system with side-band addressing.

thanx for your reply,

and what is Side Band Adress exactly, and FW (frame width ?) ? someone in an old post, told me that he had to enable SBA and FW to have a good acceleration. And what happend you ?

anyway, thanx

FW is short for fast writes. Take a look at the AGP standard for a detailed explanation.

I disabled SBA due to stability issues. And FW does not seem to give any noticable performance increase.

hello,

again me.
this may not be the main topic for this, but someone may have encountered the same problem. i hope.

For having AGP enable, i had to rebuild a new kernel (which is 2.5.1). And now my linux can't shutdown normally, it can't unmount all my partitions ! so, it have to check them each new start ! that's a shame !

thanx for any potential help !
