I have an Athlon 64 3000+ and GeForce FX5700 running FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE
(i386). I get only 2200 fps for glxgears. Anyone else getting similar
values.

When I start X, I also get a kernele message with the following text,

NVRM: AGP cannot be enabled on this combination of the AMD CPU and OS
kernel
NVRM: kernel upgrade recommended.
NVRM: AGP cannot be enabled on this combination of the AMD CPU and OS
kernel

I don't think it is running on s/w, since I am able to play Doom 3 on
this system.
