At least your box's still running - that's an big improvement. On my box, each version I tried produced an complete lockup - even didn't need to start the Xserver for this. Obviously the kernel module is heavily broken. Debugging it showed up several strange things, like direct jumps into data areas (sometimes even static text strings), etc. Perhaps an similar issue like w/ Skype: they prefer investing their dev resources into code obfuscation instead of providing an stable product ;-O All this leads me back back to the conclusion I already had about 10 years ago: *NEVER EVERY* buy Nvidia cards. (I've made the big mistake buying an notebook with NV graphics, so I even can't replace it :(() cu -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- Enrico Weigelt == metux IT service - http://www.metux.de/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please visit the OpenSource QM Taskforce: http://wiki.metux.de/public/OpenSource_QM_Taskforce Patches / Fixes for a lot dozens of packages in dozens of versions: http://patches.metux.de/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
