Do you agree with my assessment that 3d > acceleration isn't working? Thanks for trying to help! Armed Assault..? Are you trying to run armed assault in wine? if so, then remember that wine support for FreeBSD is horrible at best... Anyway, I set hint.agp.0.disabled="1" and now hw.nvidia.agp.status.status is set to "enabled" (it was disabled before) glxgears results are the same, ~2300 FPS. In my experience, games on FreeBSD are always slow, my hardware isn't very fast (900MHz, 384MB RAM,Geforce FX5200) but on windows 2000 I'm able to play even fairly recent games (Such as the punisher, civ4). On FreeBSD, anything with more graphics than rogue will be anything from slow to unplayable, even though FreeBSD outperforms windows in almost every other way... Conclusion: Use windows for games, FreeBSD for serious stuff ...
