Yes, please post your report for the archives. The Nvidia docs say that the dri and GLCore modules should not be used in combination with their glx module. So be sure to comment those out-- maybe the source of your trouble here. Good luck, Andrew. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Would it be useful trying to isolate the problem to one of those options, maybe by a kind of binary search? I.e. are there people interested in getting a report and trying to fix the problem, or are the comm channels to nvidia (I presume that's where the reports have to go) hopelessly clogged? -- hendrik -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I've done a bit of testing using XDMCP. The AMF64 machine seems to crash when it is the X server. When it is just the X client (I log into it from elsewhere), is seems to work fine. Unless I get some help from this list, the next thing I'll be trying is going throuth the list of optional addons to X that dpkg-reconfigure xorg-server provides and taking them out. Things like direct rendering and GL support and such. Is this likely to keep nvidia's openGL suport from working? -- hendrik -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
