I use geforce 9400M G on ubuntu 10.10 64 bit. My driver version is 260.19.26.
Up until recently I could set the powermizer mode to "Maximum performance" using xorg.conf. However, this does not work any more. My system starts with powermizer mode set to "adaptive", and I have to change it manually back.
This wouldn't be a problem if adaptive mode would work properly, but it doesn't. When I play 3d games, like lugaru (or any other), in adaptive mode, the game starts fine but then I experience severe drops in the frame rate. It is as if the powermizer does not know a 3d app is running.
So my questions are:
1. Can adaptive mode be made to work, is it actually adapts the clock speed to the system demands?
2. If it cannot, can the powermizer be set automatically so I do not have to open nvidia-settings and change it manually after reboot?
3. Can I supply more useful information in order to solve the problem(s)?
My xorg.conf is:
