Last night I decided to sort it out and get the NVidia drivers running on my machine.
All went well, I installed from tar zips made the Kernel driver and the OpenGL lib no
problem. Sat back astonished at the positively outrageous speed of gltron and the
ultra smooth spectacle of tuxracer. 8^)
Fired it up this morning to have a quick go before work and ... It locked up going
into anything(?) =-{
I can get gears to work, once, then it fails as does everything else. Could it be a
'lock'file somewhere, or display settings of some kind - I am running my own modeline
in XF86Config-4 to get the best out of the monitor.
Also the xlog does seem to be discarding ALOT of resolutions, but this doesn't really
explain why it worked fine yesterday and not now.
I did have a crash and total lock up both with gltron and open space last night but on
rebooting everything did still work...
Please help, this is just one more in a huge string of problems I seem to have waded
through with Mandrake 8.0 .
cheers si
