I have noticed this too. You are not alone. Perfly -m0 is the only way I
can run it. I would like to hear an official position from the Performer
team on this problem. It is very easily reproducable.

Subject: [info-performer] Linux driver problems

I'm having problems with a new system - dual Xeon, GeForce FX3000G
graphics, Red Hat 9 (kernel 2.4.20-6smp), Performer 3.1.1_gcc3
(licensed).

The latest nvidia drivers (6111 and 6106) give me hard lockups when
exiting perfly (always) and occasional lockups on custom Performer apps
(when exiting). I've tried an older driver (5341) that came from PNY
and I don't get the lockups on exit, but I get a long pause (5-10
seconds) while the application is starting. I've tried disabling AGP,
but that doesn't help. Hyperthreading is also disabled per discussion
on nvnews.net linux forum. I tried it once in single-processor mode and
everything worked fine, but that is not the desired solution.

Does anyone know what the problem may be or what I can try? I have 4
identical systems and I haven't even tried frame locking yet until I
work out these more pressing issues. Is there a driver set that does
work in this configuration?
