I've recently been having some problems with freezing in Quake3. I have a nVidia GeForce2 MX card and I'm running Debian Unstable. My motherboard is KT133-based and I'm running kernel version 2.4.9.
I don't know if the problem lies within XFree86, my nVidia binary drivers, the programs themselves, or another random hardware issue. My log files (/var/log/XFree86.0.log) don't contain anything out of the ordinary. X freezes a couple times every day playing Quake3. The screen freezes, the sound cycles, and I lose control of my KB/mouse. I can usually fix the problem by sshing into my machine and killing X/Q3. About 10 minutes ago, I decided to randomly fire up TuxRacer and I encountered the same issue, leading me to believe the problems I have been experiencing are not isolated to Q3. How can I figure out what exactly is causing the problem? Any log files I should look at? All suggestions are welcome. Thanks. --Greg
