Hi,Can you send us the configuration lines for Nvidia card, of your XF86config file? NVidia driver is very sensitive with optimizations.
Make sure to turn off any custom optimization (comment these lines) like:
# Option "RenderAccel" "true"
disable Sidebanding and Fast Write operation (in /etc/modules.d/nvidia)
and go with the latest drivers.
I do not have the XF86Config handy as I am at work right now. But this should be OK, anyhow I will post it thes evening (I am in Europe).
RenderAccel is off and Sidebanding and FastWrite are disabled (even in my BIOS).
With the latest drivers my machines hangs (or takes noticably more than 5 minutes to start X, which is not better really)

Hello out there,
I 've been having trouble with nvidia drivers since the 4191 version. The startup times simply are/were horrible. I checked lots of articles on the forum and the postings on this list but they didn't help me (I didn't try flashing my cards bios but I really don't want to do that)
So I held on to my version 3123 drivers and all was well.
The last time I did an update world I didn't see that there was an update for the nvidia drivers to the newes version and so, well, updated them to 4363.
OK so here I am with the following problem
- When I start X with the newest drivers the system seems to hang. After around 5 minutes I shut down my machine (hard power off). Interestingly the Xfree log looks like all is well and X started without a problem (I will send it if needed). Once I shut down the machine a little early and the log looked to be still in the initialising phase.
- If I install the 4340 version I have a startup time of something like 80 seconds (for X itself) which is not very tempting.
- When I try to install any version prior to 4xxx I get the following error:

Can any of you help here? I would love to go back to 3123.
Thanks in advance
