I played Quake 4 on FC5 quite happily 20+ FPS @1600x1200,
now under FC6 I'm lucky if I can get above 10FPS.

I've tried reducing the resolution to 1280x1024 - its not much better.
I've also noticed text and the pointer don't seem to get rendered
properly now
either - which make it look the driver to me.
Anyone had similar issues ? I'm trying to decide if its the 9xxx
drivers - not that easy to
try the 8xxx drivers as they don't exist in livna for the current
kernels, and the there are
the warnings of the potential problems with the NVidia installer and
Fedora. Or perhaps its
because I decided to try 64bit Fedora this time - not convinced. Or
something else ?
Thanks

I have a similar machine - and both Quake 4 and Doom3 works just fine.
Dual Opteron 270, 2GB, GF6800GT, 88.xx/9x.xx drivers.

Looks like its the livna packages. I when to run level 3, unintalled
the livna packages
then used the NVidia installer. Now I'm back with 50-60fps.
I'll raise a bug if I can work out where, there must be something
wrong with the packaging
somewhere.
Thanks
