Re: [gentoo-user] X random freeze but mouse still moves

In my case, I pretty much never used opengl, so it was not a problem for me to remove it from my USE flags. Yet *that* was the change that gave me perfect stability. Your case may be different...but mine _definitely_ had something to do with opengl. -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Schulz But sometimes run fast is better ~ Francesco R. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list he said he made he is running at the 4x rate. In the nvidia readme it says thats some VIA chipsets have experienced problems running at 4x so Nvidia forces the computer run at the 2x rate. The readme goes on to say that you can try to turn on 4x but that is up to you, as it is experimental. Perhaps there is a problem when Nvidia forces the computer to run at that 2x rate. I will try to to enable the 4x rate, I'm not going to tamper with the source code, there is a parameter you can tell the Nvidia kernel, I will try that instead. Hoepfully this will work, thats for the link. -- -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 I had this problem as well. If you are using composite, try turning that off, as that is what did it for me. Actually, I think I could have done some combination of leaving composite on and fiddling with AllowCompositeWithGLX. MalachiX wrote: I have been battling an ongoing problem for a while.
