Hi, I have some problems with the nVidia card of my laptop Acer TravelMate 636LC. According to lspci the exact model is
nVidia Corporation NV11 [GeForce2 Go] (rev b2) First problem: At boot time. Everything works at the beginning but shortly after entering runlevel 3 (before starting X) the screen start to flicker very fast and becomes unreadable. This continues until the start of xdm. I do not understand what could be the reason (some change of font or similar?). This problem first appeared upgrading to linux 2.4.22. Second problem: I cannot use Ctrl-Alt-Fn keys to switch from X to text console. It was the same with linux 2.4.20. Third problem: I am not able to play DVD, the machine it is too slow and the movements are not fluid at all. I tried with mplayer under X11 with device -vo xv with all possible combination of options. A P-4 2.0 GHz it is not enough? Or the nvidia driver needs some setup. Otherwise X seems to work nice. I use the "nvidia" proprietary module. I think I installed it properly because: (1) I use Driver "nvidia" in XF86Config; (2) I have a splash screen with the nvidia at X11 startup (and there was no such logo before installing nvidia-glx); (3) glxgears says "3550 frames in 5.0 seconds = 710.000 FPS" that it an acceptable value, I guess. A snippet of my XF86Config follows.
