Well it certainly works with 2.6.24 which is the kernel currently in unstable. Until 2.6.25 enters unstable I won't have a clue if the nvidia driver works with it, nor will I particularly care. :) > Maybe you are lucky having not exactly the same hardware as me then. > There are many nvidia cards after all. That is certainly true. I have a 6600GT and an 8600GT at home, and a 5200FX and 6200 at work. So far so good. > That could happen - but I don't think so when all trouble go away by > using the vesa X driver.

When you enable 3D mode the power consumption of a video card can go up by quite a lot (close to 100W on high end cards). So 2D and hence VESA could work great with a crap power supply, but 3D mode would fail. -- Len Sorensen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
