Bad CPU assembly code in __nvsym07766 () from /usr/lib/libGLcore.so.1 This binary file was provided by Nvidia, the following code is DESTRUCTIVE to the CPU of my computer. This code must be changed to include a Fail-Safe device so that normal operation of my computer may be restored. One idea of how to handle this on going problem has been suggested by http://linuxgames.com/articles/morenvidiatips-20010930.txt. I instead ask that Nvidia fix the known issues of there drivers or release them to ppl who are more able. The correct solution to the problem is to do something LIKE...
push %cx mov 0, %cx StartOfLoop: inc %cx cmp 3000, %cx je <SomeCodeThatResetsTheAGP&GPU> mov 0xe(%esi),%ax cmp $0xffffffff,%ax je <StartOfLoop> However Nvidia opted to use the following code which is incorrect. 0x4955b2f0 <__nvsym07766+208>: mov 0xe(%esi[0x492ed0d0]),%ax 0x4955b2f4 <__nvsym07766+212>: cmp $0xffffffff,%ax 0x4955b2f8 <__nvsym07766+216>: je 0x4955b2f0 <__nvsym07766+208> (gdb) info registers eax 0x88cffff 143458303 ecx 0x0 0 edx 0x0 0 ebx 0x88bfe20 143392288 esp 0xbffff9c0 0xbffff9c0 ebp 0x88bfea8 0x88bfea8 esi 0x492ed0d0 1227804880 edi 0x88bfeac 143392428 eip 0x4955b2f0 0x4955b2f0 eflags 0x200346 2097990 cs 0x23 35 ss 0x2b 43 ds 0x2b 43 es 0x2b 43 fs 0x0 0 gs 0x14d7 5335 __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
