More precisely, is there an nvidia driver
that does not experience extreme slowness?

I've had trouble getting flash to play right
either through firefox or through mplayer.
Most recently mplayer told me that my system was to slow.
It made suggestions that were scrolled
off the screen by many cpoies of
AO: [pulse] pa_stream_get_latency() failed: Connection terminated
AO: [pulse] pa_stream_write() failed: Connection terminated.4% 1312 0

I'm running a recent install of F11 on a 3 GHz
pentium 4 with hyperthreading, 4G of memory
and F11's video driver.
So far, it has not made me happy.
[hennebry@localhost Cache]$ uname -a
Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.29.6-217.2.16.fc11.i686.PAE #1 SMP Mon

[hennebry@localhost Cache]$
The GEForce nvidia card and the 4G of memory are
not original equipment, but they predate F11.

At one point, instead of a login, I got a screen with one line:
nouveau 0000:01:00.0: nouveau_fifoo_free: freeing fifo 0

I had to reboot.


[1] Replace the nouveau driver with the "evil" Nvidia driver

[2] mplayer "-ao alsa"

I've got an old P4 box with a gforce 7300 running F11 that plays high def video just fine with the Nvidia driver and "-ao alsa". With the nouveau driver and pulse audio the box is unusable for video playback.

John
