[arch-general] nvidia and xorg-server 1.9
I was following the discussion about holding back xorg 1.9 because of the nvidia driver, but I either missed the end of it, or it was left open. Do the nvidia and nvidia-173xx drivers in [extra] work with 1.9? If they do work, either or both, are they still plagued by this performance regression (stuff like rendering fonts as far as I can remember). If either does have this performance hit, does anyone know of a target version that resolves the regression? Thanks

I'm using the nvidia driver and it works with xorg 1.9 But in heavy 3D-games there are some performance issues (often normal ~130fps but sometimes 7-10fps until a scene change). In AUR there is nvidia-beta available, its the beta driver from nvidia and works perfectly for me. My graphics card is a Nvidia GeForce 9600M GT.

yes

are you still talking about nvidia legacy? if not, the current nvidia has performance regression which are fixed in the beta. -- Ionuț
I'm wondering if there are any known regressions for h264 playback (vdpau) 64bit nvidia stable

I don't think it was mentioned earlier, so I was asking if nvidia legacy (specifically 173) was affected by the same performance regression as the current nvidia driver.
