I've tried radeon, but strangely I can't ctrl-alt-F1 to console with it.... I don't think compositing worked either, but I can't remember for sure. fglrx-driver is at 1:10-9-3 in Squeeze, 11.3 does not seem to be in squeeze- backports. > > You can make further tests before dropping the card (review the logs for > any specific error, disable desktop effects...). 3D and compositing work, but compositing is always turned off again on reboot. Otherwise I haven't noticed anything except for the freezing. The symptoms are lots of green dots superimposed on the screen and I am no longer able to return to console. I have not tried ssh'ing in to restart X, so I don't know if the system is really totally hung. > > > I'm looking for an inexpensive alternative, does anyone have any > > experience with the GeForce 8400GS? > > Not with that model, but I've had only good experiences with nvidia's: > 7600GS (ok), quadro fx 1500 (ok), quadro nvs 440 (ok). ok, thanks. > > Greetings, -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
