That's a nice idea, I ran some tests based on the instructions here a while back: http://nixos.org/wiki/NixOS_VM_tests If it fails in the VM then it looks like it is indeed a hardware issue. AFAIK Eelco is using KDE with the nvidia driver and can logout and restart without any problems from the KDE menu. I guess it's also worth testing the vesa video driver. _______________________________________________ nix-dev mailing list nix-dev@lists.science.uu.nl http://lists.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
