I downloaded the drivers from here: http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_ia32_1.0-6629.html
and followed the install instructions. I'm running the latest FC3. Since then my system has been stable. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Brad Templeton Sent: Sunday, January 16, 2005 12:32 AM To: Discussion about mythtv Subject: Re: [mythtv-users] nvidia graphics FC 3 On Sun, Jan 16, 2005 at 12:08:26AM +0100, Hugo van der Kooij wrote: > On Sat, 15 Jan 2005, Frank smith wrote: > > > On downloading 6629 I open a console as root and use: > > init 3 > > > > This on my system seems to try and reboot the pc. > > You seem to have a problem in your machine.

Well, perhaps he means level 5, the one that starts X? (Frankly I never have my machines start X on boot, it's asking for trouble in many cases and how hard is it to run startx?) Because there many people, including me, have given up on the 6629 driver as too crash-prone, systems going into hard deaths when trying to start X, or the X server going into a bad state that forces kill -9, which means no reset of the console. After these, I have tried many different commands to try to fully restore the console, and none work perfectly. Anybody know one? (Starting and quitting X helps but doesn't return the cursor on my system.)
