I have tried numerous drivers, from I think 275 up, skipping a couple of revisions. I end up with the same result when it comes to the 8400GS. I have also tried the nouveau driver with the same result. I have to disable the acceleration for it to work. When I change the bios setting to use the PCIe it doesn't show the 6150 at all in lspci (I Think). I am using the same xorg.conf file that I use for my 8400, nothing about it has changed except for the addition of the suggestions of Paul. Even that change still have the 6150 still working. Here are the two files that you asked for. /var/log/Xorg.0.log http://pastebin.com/dPy7HPRZ /etc/X11/xorg.conf http://pastebin.com/JQMr6HTS In the beginning this was my desktop with Gentoo on it. 8400 worked just fine. I started using it as a headless server for awhile and playing around with CUDA, now I am back to using it as a desktop but more for XBMC connected to a TV. I still use it to share the net, DNS, DHCP you know all that good stuff. Kernel Version 3.3.8-gentoo-r1 Tried to build 3.4 series but it just crashes out this computer, haven't tried the 3.5 series yet. I also just looked through my /var/log/messages file. It is nothing in there about the crash. It just jump time 2 minutes. That is the same thing that would be in dmesg right? I will switch back to the 8400 to take a look at dmesg for the crash if I can ssh in still. -- Willie Matthews matthews.wil...@gmail.com
