I used to have major issues when using the nvidea driver from nvidea, i use the generic one now, no problems !!!Assuming that you're referring to the nVidia drivers, what sort of issues? I've been using the nVidia ones for quite some time and I've had no problems at all (I'm assuming you followed the README carefully). That said, the ones that come with X are absolutely fine unless you're looking for 3D performance under X - at which point the nVidia ones knock them into the proverbial cocked hat. Alex.I am using the latest drivers, and I find that as soon as I do anything graphics intensive, the driver over-clocks the graphics card and causes a hard-lockup. I did find a solution once in the Nvidia Linux forum (http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=14).... but I've reinstalled since and can't remember what it was or where to find it again :-( You had to somehow tell the driver the use a lower clock speed using an option in your XF86Config file. I'd imagine the driver is fine if you have a card with one of the faster GPU's (which the driver was obviously written for), but it's impossible to use it with my TNT2. David.
That is curious then, as I have a TNT2 also and I've never had any such issues. Alex -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG Mail majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxx with "unsubscribe list" in the message body to unsubscribe.
