I fixed the problem here this evening the $$ way. Bought myself a new (but cheap) card. I had finally dug out an old hard drive with the popular game loader "windows" on from the growing pile of computer junk and tried the gfs card with that: bluescreened on me on first attempt of running anything 3D. (worked when the card was new) So it was a hardware fault in my case. (Two electrolyte capacitors on the card looks suspicious) > > CONFIG_PREEMPT in kernels is optional. This may be a different level of > premption to the one that Koffman (who he?) refers to. "Koffman's conditions" is an operating system theory concept. If I remember them right now, a deadlock occur if and only if we have: 1. "No preemption" (a resource cannot be taken from a process by force) 2. "mutual exclusion" (there is at least one resource that cannot be shared) 3. "Hold and wait" (a process can hold one resource while waiting for another it also need to complete the task) and the fourth is....er...hmmm... oh yes (the most obvious condition): 4. "circular wait" (there is a chain of processe waiting for a recource held by another process, formed in a loop of forever waiting processes: deadlock) Who Koffman was? That has slipped my mind completely. Some operating system theorist obviously. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
