[gentoo-user] Nvidia hangs Xorg
Hi there, my problem of the freezing x-screen with the proprietary nvidia-drivers and firefox is solved for the moment. I've just disabled the drivers agp-support by setting the option nvagp to zero in xorg.conf. For me, it made no difference whether to use nvagp or agpgart, both leads in a hung-up. Thanks for your ideas. Jonatan -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

But lateron it hangs with nearly 100 percent of cpu-time usage, especially if I use the webbrowser firefox. Use a process viewer to see what is chugging through the usage. It probably isnt your xorg configuration, although you might try changing the Modules section to this... Section Module # This loads some basic X extensions. Loaddbe # Double buffer extension # Some graphics specific modules Loadextmod# basic graphics subsystem extended support Load glx # glx support EndSection You might like to run revdep-rebuild -p and pay special attention to any graphics stuff that is broken. Im also running the same chipset and it goes flawlessly with that driver version. Other posibilities, longshot but worth checking are sound (especially artsd in kde), and gtk support (firefox dependancy). PS you did run 'opengl-update nvidia' right? -- A programmer is a person who passes as an exacting expert on the basis of being able to turn out, after innumerable punching, an infinite series of incomprehensible answers calculated with micrometric precisions from vague assumptions based on debatable figures taken from inconclusive documents and carried out on instruments of problematical accuracy by persons of dubious reliability and questionable mentality for the avowed purpose of annoying and confounding a hopelessly defenseless department that was unfortunate enough to ask for the information in the first place. -- IEEE Grid newsmagazine -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

i had the same problem, even when i would switch back to VT1 it would be a black screen, so i uesed the drivers from nvidia.com and it worked fine, seems to be a problem in portage On Tue, 2006-02-28 at 14:48 +0100, Jonatan Antoni wrote: Hy there, I'm playing around with the nvidia kernel-modules and glx-drivers for x11 for a while.

Is there another way without using the original nvidia drivers or has somebody a hint about that nasty error? thx, jonatan __ Verschicken Sie romantische, coole und witzige Bilder per SMS!
