Description of problem: Running the nouveau driver with a 210 card, Xscreensaver was giving me about 1.5 fps. Installing the nvidia driver from the repos fixed it. It wasn't always that bad, but I have no further detail. It was mentioned on the mailing list to report these differences. My card is so new that under Mandriva,until a week ago, I had to use the Nvidia driver from backports, not the one from the release. I assumed that the nouveau driver will be closer to the released Nvidia driver, and I accepted its deficiencies. The present distro release has deficiencies, but a useful bug report should await the next version. (Afterthought: this may impact on Bug 1143.) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
This may be a false alarm. I have downloaded and installed the latest NVidia driver. I am having no problems except when logged in as my default user, with the Xfce desktop. As myself, I can use KDE O.K, and as anybody else, I can use Xfce as well. It sounds like a corrupted setting in a dotfile.
This bug is old, and changes in Cauldron were huge. Please re-open it if it is still there.
