1. Was the problem with the nvidia driver ever fixed? (I reported this
more than a month ago --- the kernel nvidia driver only works with
parameters set to lower the speed of the interface, and even then failed
with some OpenGL programs like OpenUniverse).
The kernel nvidia driver worked fine in 5.1. It only STOPPED working when I upgraded to 5.2 beta (and rebuilt and reinstalled the kernel driver).
This is a problem of 5.2 vs 5.1 ---- something changed that stopped it from working. Perhaps some libraries in 5.2 are no longer compatible with the nvidia kernel driver (since it is, fundamentally, a binary program --- one cannot recompile the core of it).
Perhaps it's a problem with AGP in 5.2. Slowing down AGP (to 1x) allows the nvidia driver to work but it still reboots the machine whenever I try to do anything that involves OpenGL...
Also, it's odd the the thing fails in such a strange manner (rebooting the machine without any error messages).
