the 3.2.8 is outdated, why you need it with newer kernels?

[Comment 3 Andreas Sundebo 2004-07-23 00:02:16 UTC]

Because certain games such as NWN doesn't work properly with the newer ati-drivers such as the 3.7.6 and 3.9.0 versions. Other games experience massive FPS loss using later drivers. Until ATI makes drivers that runs smoothly across the board, we need to support the 3.2.8's.

There are some option you could use to improve the result of the 3.9.0.
I'll haved a look on the issue and try to keep in shape the 3.2.8 anyway.

Is the 3.11.1 ok for you?

[Comment 6 Gustavo Ribeiro Alves 2004-08-18 09:33:16 UTC]

I still haven't tested nwn with 3.11.1 but according to a thread at www.rage3d.com they still have the memory leak problem with nwn. There are some options that minimize the problem, but don't fix it that I tried with 3.9.0 (instead of having the game crash in 1~2 minutes it crash in 10~20 min).

Please test it disallowing the Agp Page Lock, that should solve almost the issue
