Fgfs may be more demanding on your GPU than Torcs. A few things I'd check...GPU fan, airflow around the GPU (80-way IDE ribbon cables are good at blocking airflow). If everything hardware-wise looks OK, then check /var/log/Xorg.0.log for error messages. dmesg on the console may reveal problems too...
If I can get to the console when I get problems! I will check old Xorg logs, though, thanks for the tip. I keep forgetting about them.
Are you able to try on other than Deb testing?
Not unless I can get it running off one of my old (dial-up internet, not getting a more recent version!) Knoppix CDs.
Thats probably me. My system uses just the standard cooling items that came with it, ie. CPU fan, GPU fan, and PSU fan. I leave the entire system at default clock speeds. Having said that the recent Brissie weather has been cooler, so I think climate is not a factor.
It might not be a factor, but I've only been in Queensland for two years, and in Hobart cooling was, let us say, not a problem. I live out at Mt. Crosby, just north of Ipswich, where the climate is usually slightly more extreme at both ends than Brisbane, so the stinking days are happening. I think the location of my tower has more to do with impeding airflow than IDE cables do. I have a SATA hard drive, but I also have a CD, a DVD, and two IDE hard drives. Methinks my problem might be sustained load, but it's always nice to be able to pin it down. I once, back in Hobart, had an IDE cable singe from being held across the CPU fan after I paid someone to upgrade my computer. Never since have I, nor needed to, pay anyone for anything except postage and handling and product. Ciao, JH ------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
