Hi,
I have some problems with the nVidia card of my laptop Acer TravelMate
636LC. According to lspci the exact model is
nVidia Corporation NV11 [GeForce2 Go] (rev b2)
First problem: At boot time. Everything works at the beginning but
shortly after entering runlevel 3 (before starting X) the screen start
to flicker very fast and becomes unreadable. This continues until the
start of xdm. I do not understand what could be the reason (some
change of font or similar?). This problem first appeared upgrading to
linux 2.4.22.
Second problem: I cannot use Ctrl-Alt-Fn keys to switch from X to text
console. It was the same with linux 2.4.20.
Third problem: I am not able to play DVD, the machine it is too slow
and the movements are not fluid at all. I tried with mplayer under
X11 with device -vo xv with all possible combination of options. A
P-4 2.0 GHz it is not enough? Or the nvidia driver needs some setup.
Otherwise X seems to work nice. I use the "nvidia" proprietary
module. I think I installed it properly because: (1) I use Driver
"nvidia" in XF86Config; (2) I have a splash screen with the nvidia at
X11 startup (and there was no such logo before installing nvidia-glx);
(3) glxgears says "3550 frames in 5.0 seconds = 710.000 FPS" that it
an acceptable value, I guess.
A snippet of my XF86Config follows.
Any help appreciated,
