Hi!!

Just now I have time to post here.....

Month ago, I've updated my ArchLinux to Kernel 2.6.26 and Nvidia-173.14.12-3, but I don't know why my Geforce 8600 GT loose her potential.

I use the command GLXGEARS to see my graphic card performance, and for my surprise that's the result:

13010 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2601.960 FPS
14103 frames in 5.1 seconds = 2774.469 FPS
14471 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2892.587 FPS
14448 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2879.706 FPS
14425 frames in 5.1 seconds = 2850.107 FPS

Before the atualization, I'm with Kernel-2.6.25.11-1 and I have these values up to 9000.000 FPS and 10000.000 FPS.....

Now I'm using the Kernel-2.6.25.11-1 and nvidia-driver-173.14.12-1 (from archlinuxfr repo). These two work perfectly, but I want to use Kernel-2.6.26.....

I made many processes like:

- Install nvidia drivers manually from the nvidia site;
- Install nvidia drivers from AUR ( included the beta one's )
- Install the 3 atualizations of the kernel-2.6.26 for Arch and the nvidia drivers to, like I say above...

None of the tests was sucessfull....

Please someone now this problem or now if this is a bug in these new drivers or in the new kernel???

Thanks for all and sorry for my bad english :D !!!


Additional info:
* kernel-2.6.25.11-1
* nvidia-driver-173.14.12-1 (archlinuxfr repo)
