Hi all,
I've had this problem with various nvidia-drivers and never been able to
track it down. AFAIR it only happens during certain (one?) xscreensaver
hack. One of the 3d ones, but not necessarily one named GL*
When the hack starts, I see multiple tears every 1-2cm (10-15 in all),
each one offset to the right by the same amount. The colours look
inverted, or neon. The screen is "frozen".
I can ssh in and initiate a shutdown, although it doesn't complete; or I
can use the magic sysrq key. When the shutdown locks up, I can't use
sysrq.
Perhaps this is related, but when I run MoebiusGears with the settings
maxed I can get performance like this:
FPS: 220
Load: 100
Polys: 12000+
but sometimes on a different instance the FPS drops drastically to <90.
Don't know why.
I have:
nVidia Quadro FX 1600M (laptop)
2.6.32-tuxonice-r1
x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-190.53-r1
x11-wm/compiz-0.8.4
x11-base/xorg-server-1.7.4
any ideas? thanks,
