But, this is not a Debian related problem, it is caused by the binary part of NVidias accelarator driver and touches most other distributions, too (like SuSE, RedHat etc.) Please see the discussion on NVidias website. This bug is known in version 100.14.11, too and it is only discovered on 64-bit-systems. 32-bit is running fine ! It can be proved, the bug is NOT in the nvidia-kernel-source (dear maintainer, you did good work, thanks !) I can advice you, still not to upgrade to the latest driver, as this is also upgrading xserver-xorg to a higher version, which is incompatible to the prior versions. Because of this, downgrading is very, very difficult. As I saiud, the bug seam to appear only in 64-bit-systems and mostly at 7300GS cards (NVS 110), but the second thing could not be proved clearly, yet. So, just stay at 100.14.09. If you have a running 100.14.11 you can safely update to 100.14.19 ! Please do understand this mail only as advice, I had much much problems, to get my system running again and I just want to pretend you from the same problems. Which is one more reason -- as if you needed another one -- NOT to use binary-only drivers. Why are the IT ministries of the world not standing up for our RIGHT to access the Source Code and BANNING binary-only drivers? Keep it i-tal, buy only hardware which has Open Source drivers; and keep campaigning to your elected representative. We need Freedom Three as much today as we ever have. -- AJS delta echo bravo six four at earthshod dot co dot uk -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

So what video card has an Open Source driver that can access all hardware accellerated functions? In my case, I would like the hardware mpeg convertions to work. I have an Nvidia EN7300GT card and get much better picture quality when watching DVDs full-screen with the debian-packaged Nvidia driver than with the nv driver. The card only cost me $40 CDN so I don't mind replacing it with a better card if anyone can recommend an OpenSource alternative.

So what video card has an Open Source driver that can access all hardware accellerated functions? Intel is the only company (that I am aware of) that has open source drivers that fully utilize the hardware but they are not known for being high performance or inexpensive video cards. AMD has recently released specs for ATi chips, so in the future their cards _may_ be a viable option. nVidia has yet to show any interest in opening their drivers or releasing specs (probably because of third party code/patents they've licensed). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
