Nope, 0 never had 32 bit libs when you use the 64 bit driver package.

the FAQ does not say this

anyway it's true, 2 has the 32bit OpenGL libs

Try

ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Li...77.76-pkg2.run

the 64bit 177.76 driver does not have the 32bit OpenGL libs inside

I assume that you're on GNOME, right? I never realized there were performance issues other than KDE4 slowness...

There are all kinds of problems with screen corruption when using non-Qt apps, not related to slowness. These issues are on 6 and 7 series cards.

2D is actually slower for me:

2D is actually slower for me:

It seems the lines and circles are much slower.

Yes, that's what other's have been saying in chat.

Has anyone actually tried this and can confirm that KDE4 performance issues are history? In particular, I'd be interested to know whether this fixes issues on GF8600M cards.
