I finally got mga to work on my SMP box w/ 2.4test5 after trying for several weeks... Yay!!! When I tried out Q3A (from a fresh install), it was definitely faster than X3.3.6 w/GLX. However, it's still completely unplayable because the response is really sluggish... I'm not sure if this is an X or Q3A configuration issue. Hardware: 2x 450 Celeron (oc'd 300a's) Gigabyte 6BXD (iBX440) 32mb G400 DH Software: Using DRI CVS sources from today, and default X settings, (namely xset q reveals mouse acceleration is 1/2 threshold 4 (same in both installs, my X4 and X3.3.6) In Q3A, I always set my sensitivity up, normally to 25, even in Windows, but with this I had to go all the way up to 50 to get it to even feel close to similar. In Windows, it's really responsive, it moves and turns as fast as I can whip the mouse. In X3.3.6 w/GLX, there's noticeable lag in responsiveness, but it is generally still playable. However, with X4+DRI, the lag is just plain awful, it's unplayable. I move the mouse to turn, or move in some direction, and only a bit later does it do it. When it finally does, it does it seemingly fast and smooth, but just too late. (and I'm doing all my testing in single player, so it's not any kind of network issue) In X4 (the fresh install) I had some trouble getting it to turn on DGA for some reason, but finally got it. I just don't understand how it can show 30+ FPS while feeling like I'm trying to steer an elephant with the mouse... If anyone has any ideas, or if this is purely a Q3A issue then some links to some good info on how to configure it I'll greatly appreciate it. thx, Nick -- Nobody will ever need more than 640 kB RAM. -- Bill Gates, 1983 Windows 98 requires 16 MB RAM. -- Bill Gates, 1999 Nobody will ever need Windows 98. -- logical conclusion |
