Mine's more of a x-server hang, where I can't get either keyboard or mouse to respond. It usually happens at 100% cpu utilisation. (I.e. in the middle of a game.) Then I have to *shudder* cold-boot. *sighs* -- Joal Heagney is: _ _ /\ _ __ __ _| | _ ___ | /__\|\ || ||__ |\ || |___|/_\|___] | /\ \_||__ ||___| \_|! | | \ \ !

I've just installed a NVIDIA TNT2 Vanta card, and Yes there is, with XFree-3.3, but it has really nothing to do with a production level one.

Closed-source sucks. Okay. *excited* Are you saying that there is an opensource 3d driver for the NVIDIA videocards? I've just installed a NVIDIA TNT2 Vanta card, and while I like the 3D acceleration, I'm sick of it occasionally taking out my xserver. I improved things a while back by upgrading from KDE2.1 to KDE2.2, and again by upgrading the glibc's. (I'm running a hybrid LM8.0/Cooker system - with buggy packages in 8.0 replaced by more up-to date packages from Cooker.) The biggest gripe I have with the NVIDIA drivers is that they don't seem to build against the post 8.0 kernels. *sighs* Maybe it's time I upgraded from X4.0.3 to X4.1? -- Joal Heagney is: _ _ /\ _ __ __ _| | _ ___ | /__\|\ || ||__ |\ || |___|/_\|___] | /\ \_||__ ||___| \_|! | | \ \ !
