[gentoo-user] nvidia-driver crashes X

2007-08-13 Thread Florian Philipp
Hi!

I'm experiencing some strange problems on one of my machines. Everytime I open 
the KDE Control Center and on random occasions in Firefox (sometimes after 
doing nothing for several minutes, just having it open in the background and 
switching back to it or when starting certain java scripts) the X-Server does 
no longer react. I can move the cursor but that's it. 

All I can do is open a remote shell. Top shows me that X is at 97-99% cpu 
usage and the only way to kill it is with kill -kill

I've noticed the following in dmesg:

NVRM: Xid: 13,  02005600 0056 0c28 00230291 0080
agpgart: Found an AGP 3.0 compliant device at :00:00.0.

That's the situation after two crashes within a few minutes (I tried to open 
the Control Center). 

I'm using an NVidia Geforce2 MX with nvidia-drivers-1.0.7185.

I'll attach the whole dmesg and lshw output as well as my xorg.conf.

Thanks in advance!

first, update you bios. Pull out the card, dust the case, put the card back, 
retry.

 back, retry.

Bios is updated to the last stable release. The latest beta (for almost 2 
years now) crashes badly.

The system was build less than two months ago and should not contain much 
dust. Anyway, it's got no fan at all but I've taken care of possible heat 
problems.

I'll check the bios settings, maybe permanently limiting it to AGP2x helps.

I've forgotten to mention that the card works flawlessly with the nv driver.

yeah, because nv does not really stress the card and bus. Such signaling or 
power problems are masked away.

because of the Xid. From the part in your mail it looks like you get your 
first one as soon as X starts. And after a Xid the gpu is in a highly 
unstable condition. You can post your problem in the nvnews-forum. Maybe 
you'll find some help there.
