I don't know, why the kernel module is that big. Why should I? I'am using this thing, not developing it. I do have enough space for a 2,3MB module on my harddisc also, so this is no problem for me. The more ram the kernel might use is no problem for me, as I use kde anyway :-) You're text terminals get corrupted due to a bug in the driver. If you stop using framebuffer or add Option "IgnoreDisplayDevices" "TV" to your XF86Config things should be ok. At least this works here. My X server does not lock hard, when started multiple times. I do this regularly, cause this is how I use my TV out. Maybe a bug that should be reported? > Why doesn't it unload prettily? > Why is the RENDER extention broken? (visible in nautilus > mouse selection code fex. ) Bugs? You as a developer of gentoo should know, that there is no bugfree software out there. Why should this be any other with nvidia-drivers? Report them, and maybe they get fixed. As a developer of OpenGL apps, I need the 3D features of my grafics board. The opensource nv driver has no 3D support at all. The opensource Ati driver is under heavy construction and has lots of bugs (search dri-devel mailinglist archive for radeon). nvidia and their binary driver is my only choice so far. And they work perfect for me. Michael -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
