Hi, im experiancing similar problems, my machine is a 2x500 celeron 192Mb ram and a dimod viper 770 ultra (TNT2 Ultra). I had no problems with the Xfree drivers, the nvidia driver however hangs my machine pretty bad, the screen stop getting signal and the box stop sespond to ping. I had the exacly same problem erlier when i compiled "Video mode selection support" in my kernel. 2.2.16 i think that was. I havent compiled in APM since its at SMP system and i disabled all power manegment in my bios (its a Abit bp6 mobo). Anyone have a theory on this. could it have something to do whith agp drivers or something? I havent done any agp configuring in the kernel. /Andreas
