OK. This solution too is working.
Thank you

Hi Stefano,

Please try adding
Option "ModeValidation" "NoXServerModes"
to the Screen section of /etc/X11/xorg.conf

It's an Nvidia-only option documented in
/usr/share/doc/nvidia-glx/README.txt.gz


(Please keep the Debian bug CC'd in replies)

Steve

Hi Stefano,

Does the "einstein" package do the same when run in full-screen
mode?

Any error messages on your monitor (if it has a status panel
separate to the screen)?

I have this with several full-screen games, combined with a
GeForce 6600, LG LCD monitor and the Nvidia driver.  The card is
auto-detecting a video mode that my monitor doesn't support,
chosing 800x600 with too high a refresh rate, and the monitor's
protection mechanism ignores the input signal.
I haven't looked in to whether the fault is in the card, the
monitor or the driver.

Full-screen games that are in a different size than 800x600 work
fine for me.  Does that match what's happening for you?

Regards,
Steve

Bug#541681: extremetuxracer: Black screen - extreme tux racer freezes the screen

2009-08-15 Thread Stefano Simonucci
Package: extremetuxracer
Version: 0.4-2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable


If I try to star etracer I get a black screen. The desktop is frozen. 
I  must restart the X-server again to do anything. 
Maybe the problem is in the 3D-acceleration.
My graphic card is a nvidia GeForce 6200.
I use the following nvidia package
nvidia-glx  install
nvidia-kernel-2.6.26-1-amd64install
nvidia-kernel-commoninstall
nvidia-kernel-sourceinstall
nvidia-xconfig  install
