Created attachment 14804 [details] openbsd xorg.log (submitted on behalf of a friend of mine) Using the nv driver on OpenBSD, and also on ubuntu 7.10 (desktop edition), X performs VERY slowly on the quadro NVS 104M (pciid 0x9429). The vesa driver is faster. Attached are dmesgs for both osen, and xorg.logs for both as well. The architecture is amd64, but an i386 test will be performed soon as well.

Created attachment 14819 [details] i386 x log Tested on i386, also very slow.
Created attachment 14820 [details] i386 dmesg
What is the normal turnaround time for a response on these issues?
I'm currently also affected by this problem, my X environment is incredibly slow and seems to drag down my overal performance of my laptop. Anybody gotten any replies yet?

I don't mean to make 'noise' here, but I'd just like to confirm that my system (with Quadro NVS 140M 128MB) exhibits what are apparently the same symptoms as described here: very slow 2d performance, especially when redrawing large parts of windows. Switching desktops in xmonad, scrolling with the keyboard in firefox, etc, are noticeably choppy, but are fine when using the proprietary driver. Let me know if I should provide any logs beyond those already submitted by the original reporter.
Obviously one can not run binary blobs on OpenBSD. It is in fact unhealthy that people promote the use of such useless drivers. This only encourages bad behavior in companies that claim that there is IP inside a driver and fail to understand that copyright has them covered.
Marco - I'm not sure whether your comment about the proprietary drivers was directed at me, but I certainly wasn't advocating their use. I only mentioned them in order to provide a baseline to which I am comparing performance.
