Sid, I think if you go back to earlier kernels, 2.4.10ish would certainly do it, you'd have a better chance of experiencing the problem.
Jon, the AMD problem was a known bug that AMD & MS put out fixes for. -------Original Message------- From: Jon Stockill <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: 02/05/03 11:21 AM To: "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: [Flightgear-users] NVIDIA driver for linux > > On 5 Feb 2003, Sid Boyce wrote: > I am still mystified about the NVidia/AMD problem if it is such.

There are certain functions on AGP graphics cards which, according to the AGP specs *require* cache flushes after they've been used. If this is not done then operation after that is "undefined". Part of the reason that nvidia achieve such high performance is cutting corners on things like this. It's just possible that the effect of this corner cutting is felt more on AMD hardware than on intel. -- Jon Stockill [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Flightgear-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-users > _______________________________________________ Flightgear-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-users
